Compliance Jobs News
Catherine Jourdan has been named head of legal and compliance for Allianz Global Investors. Jourdan previously worked as chief compliance officer for Euler Hermes, a subsidiary of Allianz. She has also relocated from Paris to San Francisco— which is a loss to Paris, since Jourdan is a way cool person.
Fashion business Ralph Lauren has promoted Amy Cheema, from vice president of internal audit to vice president for financial analysis in the North America region. She is based in New York.
Aaron Marshall is the new manager of compliance programs at Lundbeck, a pharmaceutical firm based in Chicago. He previously was a compliance specialist at Briggs & Stratton.
Also in Chicago, James Downing has been named global chief compliance officer at Aon Hewitt Global Investment Management. Downing comes to Aon from BMO Harris Financial, where he was chief compliance officer for three years. (Psst, Downing: you misspelled “chief” on your LinkedIn profile.)
In Houston, Andrew Baird has a new job within the General Electric empire: from global compliance leader at GE Oil & Gas, to global lead ombudsman at Baker Hughes (which is a GE subsidiary these days).
In Helsinki, Finland, the home goods group Fiskars has named Tiina Karkkainen director of group finance. She comes to Fiskars from UPM, where she was manager of group internal control. Finnish name spellings always intimidate me.
Phoenix-based Loan Depot has named Billy Spears chief information security officer. Spears previously was head of privacy for Hyundai Capital America.
Tenet Healthcare has promoted Ryan Whitehill, from manager of ethics and compliance training to director of ethics and compliance training. Whitehill has been at Tenet since 2005.

She will be responsible for analyzing regulatory and policy initiatives. Carole Bovard, currently first vice president for compliance advising, is taking on a new role as first vice president of regulatory relationship management and reporting. You heard it here first, folks.
TrueAccord, a debt collections technology company based in San Francisco, has hired Tim Collins as chief compliance officer. Collins joins TrueAccord from Convergent Outsourcing, where he was general counsel since 2013.
And at the Securities and Exchange Commission, Andrew Calamari, director of the New York regional office since 2012, is stepping down. Calamari has been with the agency in various roles since 2002. We thank him for his service, and wish him well as he moves into a new phase of his career making gobs of money in the private sector.
