Compliance Jobs News
Caroline Louveaux has been named chief privacy officer for Mastercard. Louveaux has worked at Mastercard for more than 10 years, most recently running regional privacy and data protection programs internationally. Her new post is based in Brussels, so we presume she has a “Bring it, GDPR!” bumper sticker on her car.
Ruro, a maker of lab information systems with the motto “laboratory information bliss,” has hired Stephen Ferrell as its chief compliance officer. Ferrell previously worked for ByteGrid as vice president of product strategy.
Scott Hodes has joined Twitter as associate general counsel and director for privacy. Prior to his current position, Hodes spent three as a deputy general counsel for privacy and product at AdRoll.
Falcon Wealth Planning, an asset management firm in southern California “taking strides to become the $1 billion firm it wants to be” has promoted Rachel Vonbank from director of operations to chief compliance officer. This might be the giddiest press release announcing a CCO promotion we’ve seen all year.
Genesis Mining, a Hong Kong firm that provides cloud mining services for the bitcoin addicts of the world, has named Shah Hafizi chief compliance officer and Americas general counsel. Hafizi previously worked as chief compliance officer at BlackRock for technology and digital ventures.

In regulator world, Paul Leder is leaving the Securities and Exchange Commission in June. Leder had served as the director of the Office of International Affairs since 2014.

And the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board has announced that general counsel Gordon Seymour is leaving the organization after 15 years. Seymour had worked at PCAOB since its inception in 2003, and has been general counsel since 2007.
