Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley.
One of the most critical aspects of the role of a Compliance Officer is establishing the reputation of the function as being one which is approachable and reliable. One of the colleagues Mary has admired the most in being successful in this respect, is Karina Vollmer. The two worked together at Tata Communications in Singapore and take a walk down memory lane to share some thoughts from the past that allow introverts like Mary to learn from extroverts like Karina.
Karina is originally from Indonesia and takes the opportunity to share with the GWIC audience some of the unique cultural aspects of the country that may impact the role of global compliance officers in multi-national corporations.
As a mother of two and a Chief Compliance Officer, Karina has a lot going on. Her discussion builds on an earlier podcast episode with Sue Scott (Great Women in Compliance episode #173) where she addresses the common issue of mum/mom guilt.
