Compliance Jobs Report: April 3
First, we sympathize with everyone suffering job loss and economic privation these days, as this week’s unemployment numbers demonstrate so painfully. That said, the Compliance Jobs Report endures. We have several new hires and promotions to note; the perfect job opening for someone who wants to get away from it all; and our Meme of the Week goes out to Toby Keith fans.
I gather these bits of information from LinkedIn, news alerts, and friends emailing me something to include. If you have a tip to pass along, email me at [email protected] or find me on LinkedIn. We need your help to make the Report work, so send me some news! Read on…
Compliance Jobs News
We begin with consulting firm Booz Hamilton, where Steve Brown has joined as chief audit executive. Brown comes to Booz after a stint as vice president of internal audit at PRGX, an audit consulting firm based in Atlanta.
A promotion for Ivars Zukovskis, who went from head of compliance to chief compliance officer at BitFlyer Group, a financial services firm headquartered in Tokyo. Zukovskis is actually based in Luxembourg, and has been with BitFlyer since 2018.
Also a promotion for Rebecca Rehm at Olympus Corp. of the Americas. She has moved up from manager of business partner compliance to senior manager. Rehm has been with Olympus since 2017.

Cytiva, now a subsidiary of Danaher and previously known as GE Life Sciences before Danaher scooped up the business, has named Marcos Sanz global compliance leader. He previously was chief compliance officer for the biopharma division of GE Healthcare, and honestly I’m not quite sure whether that biopharma division was the same thing as GE Life Sciences. Anyway, Sanz is in France and running the compliance show now.
