Compliance Jobs News
First, as noted earlier this week, the Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics has tapped Gerry Zack to be its next CEO. He begins work Nov. 1 as “incoming CEO,” and will hold that title for a year as long-time CEO Roy Snell transitions out of the job by 2019. Zack comes to SCCE from BDO, where he has been a managing director.
And a round of applause to Snell for superb social media pranking: he announced Zack’s appointment at the SCCE annual conference this week, and Snell asked the 1,800+ attendees all to send LinkedIn connection requests to Zack that day. Word is Zack had 521 requests by that afternoon. Now that’s funny.
At the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Anthony Alexis is stepping down as enforcement chief after two years on the job. No word yet on where Alexis may go next; he has been with the CFPB in various roles since 2012, and prior to that worked at law firm Mayer Brown.
