Ethics & Compliance Attorney
I'm an accomplished ethics and compliance professional with 20 years of progressive experience overseeing operations, strategic planning, organizational leadership, and policy development. I have extensive experience collaborating and communicating across all organizational levels, from entry-level staff to executive leadership teams, in fast-paced and publicly focused settings. I'm also an experienced legal manager with demonstrated success managing budgets, personnel, and complex global projects.
I currently run the nation's oldest ethics think-tank, the Institute for Global Ethics (IGE). IGE provides comprehensive ethics training for corporations, consulting to create Codes of Conduct (and other corporate policies), and undertakes grant-funded ethics research.
My previous role was as the Global Ethics & Compliance Officer for Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation. I was recruited to that position from my legal practice with a mandate to design, build, and run a best-in-class global ethics & compliance infrastructure. In that enterprise leadership role, my staff and I conducted internal investigations, coordinated ethics training, managed multiple aspects of legal and regulatory compliance, and led our global network of ethics officers. I also directed the company's enterprise risk management process.
I've spent half of my career in business as a consumer of in-house and outside legal counsel, and the other half as attorney providing such legal counsel. This affords me a rare perspective on how an effective corporate leader can integrate sound legal and compliance advice, without losing sight of enterprise business objectives.
I pride myself on my ability to cultivate relationships with individual team members and invest in future leaders. Many of the professionals I've hired at entry and mid-management levels have gone on to assume senior leadership roles.
