Great Women in Compliance: Nick Gallo on Being an Ally

Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast. In this episode, Lisa Fine visits with a great gentleman in compliance, Nick Gallo, co-CEO at Ethico.

Nick started his career in private equity, and when he and his brother Gio wanted to grow a business together, they both saw the opportunity to build something that would benefit the compliance space.

Nick’s view about being an ally was shaped when he was young and saw his mother’s challenges as a woman in male-dominated industries, which continues today, where he is an advocate for supporting women and diversity, particularly in Ethics and Compliance.

Nick and Lisa discuss the importance of being proactive as allies and constantly trying to improve our workplaces, whether that means speaking up against injustice or supporting those who may not be heard.

They also speak about how unique and special this profession, and this community are, and the importance of building the next generation of compliance leaders and women in the profession.

Key Highlights:

  • Advocacy for Equality and Workplace Support
  • Active Allyship for Positive Social Change
  • A Mentorship’s Role in Professional Development Journeys
  • Fostering Inclusivity for Diverse Women in Compliance
  • Fostering Transparency and Fairness in Hiring

FCPA Compliance Report – Nick Gallo on The Ethics and Compliance Optimization System

Welcome to the award-winning FCPA Compliance Report, the longest-running podcast in compliance. In this episode, Tom Fox welcomes back Nick Gallo, co-CEO at Ethico, to discuss its Ethics and Compliance Optimization System.

Nick Gallo, co-CEO of Ethico, is a seasoned professional with a robust background in ethics and compliance, and a key player in the development and promotion of Ethico’s ethics and compliance optimization system. Gallo’s perspective on the topic of ethics and compliance optimization systems is shaped by his belief in a comprehensive, integrated approach to managing compliance efforts. He sees this system as a next-generation tool that interacts with other data pools, generating more analytics and insights. His experience has led him to advocate for a centralized repository for various types of business information, which can be accessed by compliance teams for better visibility across all data silos within an organization. Gallo also stresses the importance of automation and integration to eliminate manual and repetitive tasks, allowing compliance professionals to focus on more strategic and value-added activities.

 

Key Highlight:

  • Creating a centralized system for streamlining ethics and compliance
  • Why compliance needs a centralized data system for compliance professionals
