Take an active, visible role in shaping the compliance landscape by engaging with industry associations, government bodies, and external stakeholders. Collaborate closely with Government Affairs and the Law Department on emerging trends and regulatory priorities.

Enterprise & People Leadership

As a key member of the IM HCC Leadership Team, oversee talent acquisition, coaching, and professional development across all levels. Develop the next generation of compliance leaders while fostering an inclusive, high‑performing team culture.
