What Happens When a CCO Goes off the Deep End?


Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast which takes a deep dive into a compliance related topic, literally going into the weeds to more fully explore a subject. This week Matt and Tom take a deep dive into the actions of Activision CCO Frances Townsend who when faced with a claim by the state of California of sexual harassment by the company in the workplace, went off the deep end.  Some of the issues we consider are:

  • What happens when a CCO attacks internal whistleblowers?
  • How is the role of the CCO different from that of the GC??
  • What happens when a company starts attacking its own employees?
  • What happens when a CCO closes their door to employees?
  • The over/under on Townsend’s continued employment.
