Compliance Jobs Report: July 28

A busy week for the Compliance Jobs Report, even in the July vacation season! The head of compliance at Snap has received a field promotion to general counsel; and the chief compliance officer at DaVita Healthcare may be heading to the Justice Department. We also have news from AB InBev, Uber, CHS, Pfizer, and more. Plus, attention Francophiles: AbbVie is hiring in France.
