To leave a legacy of operational excellence in compliance is what Global Chief Compliance Officer, Strategic Leader, and Partner at StoneTurn Jonathon Kellerman hopes to achieve in this dynamic industry.
He has been at the forefront of the evolution of compliance programs in health care, life sciences, and pharmaceuticals with over 25 years of experience in compliance strategy, program development and execution; controls design; operational excellence; risk assessment and mitigation; complex investigations; and negotiating and managing government settlements.
Major takeaways discussed in the episode:
✔️ Glean lessons from Jonathon’s unique journey starting a health care compliance practice that served as the first in the industry. His experience in a consulting practice helped health care providers with complex compliance challenges.
✔️ Traditional compliance has been limited by the rigid standards around an audit mentality. Jonathon shares that the focus on looking at transactions in silos instead of the holistic approach of looking at data over time is what’s made compliance programs from being truly effective.
✔️ Compliance programs limiting themselves to the standard practice of risk management will risk being irrelevant in future companies.
✔️ The COVID-19 pandemic broke barriers and accelerated digital transformation. Every company does it to some extent in utilizing digital platforms and data that opens up new ways of rethinking our traditional engagements.
✔️ Advanced technologies use data and digital platforms that create a new type of risk. But it also means that more than ever, there’s a lot of pressure put on companies to operate quickly and very efficiently.
✔️ The skills needed for the compliance professionals of the future is something never taught in law school. Jonathon emphasizes that an individual in the compliance space must speak business language, have trust and credibility, and be willing to think outside the box.

The Compliance Life details the journey to and in the role of a Chief Compliance Officer. How does one come to sit in the CCO chair? What are some of the skills a CCO needs to success navigate the compliance waters in any company? What are some of the top challenges CCOs have faced and how did they meet them? These questions and many others will be explored in this new podcast series. Over four episodes each month on The Compliance Life, I visit with one current or former CCO to explore their journey to the CCO chair. This month, my guest is Jonathan Kellerman, Partner at StoneTurn and former CCO at Allergan. In this final episode, Kellerman and myself look down the road for what’s next for Compliance. Kellerman sees compliance at a cross-roads today. He believes it needs to evolve from a critical support function while controlling the narrative on how compliance wants to define the functionality, value and relevance of the profession Compliance needs to become a real-time provider of not only compliance insights but also business performance. The compliance function needs new skill sets (new muscles) such as data analytics, digital engagement, advance adult learning and other skills to help change the tune about compliance.
