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 Natalia Shehadeh, Chief Compliance Officer at ABB. In this fourth and final episode with Natalia we look at some of the key lessons she has learned and where the CCO chair may be headed in 2025 and beyond.
Natalia felt they were all unique experiences, joining corporate families at different times of opportunity and challenge. She identified culture, behavior and inclusion as key and need to be the guiding lights for our field. The greater sense of community and common purpose within and cross industries we can bring to the criticality of integrity the better. The more inclusive we can make our enterprise cultures the stronger they will be.

Natalia went into the corporate world and immediately landed jobs at not only high-profile firms but those going through significant FCPA journeys, investigations and enforcement actions. Her roles provided the beauty of travel and connection across dozens of countries, experience in areas well beyond traditional compliance including: high-stakes enforcement and litigation provoking brand risks, devastating security challenges provoking human risk, and yet opportunity for synergy as we recognized the impact organization culture and inclusion can have on our integrity mission.

Later, wanting to see how corporate clients operationalized the guidance she moved in-house in 2007, which opened my eyes to an entirely different side of our practice filled with opportunity.
