Compliance Jobs News
This week we begin at Principal Financial Group, which has hired Noreen Fierro as its next chief compliance officer. Fierro (a delightful person) comes to Principal after six months as CCO at BetMGM — but many people might know her better from her time at Guardian Life, where she was chief ethics and compliance officer from 2016 to 2021. Fierro succeeds Betsy Happe, who is retiring from Principal at the end of March.
Cheyenne Ross is joining P3 Health Partners, a hospital system based in Nevada, as vice president of compliance. Ross previously worked at Arizona Complete Health, a subsidiary of Centene Corp., as vice president of compliance and regulatory affairs.

Coinme, a cryptocurrency exchange based in Seattle, has hired Brian Reisbeck as chief compliance officer. Coinme’s press release only says Reisbeck previously worked “at a major U.S.-based crypto exchange — but for the record, he was previously chief compliance officer at Binance.us until last fall. Prior to that, Reisbeck had also been senior compliance officer at Robinhood in the late 2010s.
