Compliance Jobs News
This week we begin at the Justice Department — where, for a second time, we have a compliance officer taking a key role! Glenn Leon, chief ethics and compliance officer at Hewlett Packard Enterprises since 2015, is leaving that job to serve as chief of the Fraud Section of the Justice Department. This is a bit of a homecoming for Leon; he served as deputy chief of the section during the Obama Administration. His boss will be assistant attorney general Kenneth Polite, who served as chief compliance officer of Entergy Corp. for a year in the late 2010s.
The World Trade Organization has hired Mary Eastwood Jones to be head of its Office of Internal Oversight, working from Switzerland. Jones previously was executive director of the Association of Corporate Investigators for eight months; prior to that she was head of investigations at Oxford University Press.
Daniel Moschion has joined pharmaceutical manufacturer AbbVie as associate director of global compliance audit. Moschion comes to AbbVie after seven years at Ernst & Young, most recently as a senior manager.
Panasonic North America has hired Monica Lopez Reinmiller to be its new head of global ethics and compliance (and also assistant general counsel, but the compliance role is way cooler). Reinmiller joins Panasonic from T-Mobile, where she spent five years in various legal and compliance roles.
Stephen Mbuthia has joined Balfour Beatty in London as ethics and compliance manager. Mbuthia comes to the construction giant (which settled FCPA charges with the United States late last year) from the delightfully named Fishawack Health, where he had been group senior compliance manager.
Accenture has hired Parag Deodhar as the firm’s global IT audit lead, working from India. Deodhar joins the consulting giant after three years at VF Corp., where he was CISO for the Asia-Pacific region.
In South Carolina, Jennifer Bottoms has joined Southeast Primary Care Partners as compliance officer. Bottoms previously worked at Trident Health System for three years as director of ethics and compliance.

First Abu Dhabi Bank has hired Carlos Prudencio to head its Know Your Customer program in the United States, working from Washington. Prudencio joins FAB, as the bank calls itself, after a few years at Custodia Bank and UBS; but Prudencio had previously worked at FAB in the late 2010s as assistant vice president of compliance.
Jose Solis has retired from Brother International Corp., where he’d been director of ethics and compliance since 2017. Solis’ next move remains unknown, which is probably the best update one can give when retiring.
Graciela Gilbert has a new role within the Sempra Energy empire. She is now director of risk and cash management at Sempra Infrastructure; previously she had been director of audit services for the Sempra parent company.
Rosemary Carter has joined Vanguard Healthcare Solutions in London as head of risk and corporate services, a role where she oversees risk, data management, and ESG. Carter comes to Vanguard from Platform Housing Corp. in England, where she had been assistant director of corporate compliance.
Frédéric Boidin has left his job as group compliance officer for Swedish telecom firm Telia, to join fintech payments firm Zimpler as legal counsel. Boidin had been with Telia for one year.
In the asset management world, Kevin Gleason has joined New York Life Investments as chief compliance officer for the firm’s Mainstay Funds and IndexIQ ETFs. Gleason comes to New York Life from Voya Investment Management, where he had been chief compliance officer for 10 years.

Halliburton has promoted Shaunna Pietraszewski from director of ESG reporting to senior director and ESG controller (first time I’ve seen that title; sign of things to come). Pietraszewski has been with Halliburton since 2015.
Fluke Corp., a manufacturer of testing tools, has promoted Amber Kurke from global compliance manager to senior global compliance manager. Kurke joined Fluke in 2015.
SpringWorks Therapeutics, a biotech startup working on cancer treatments, hired Joseph Calrco as senior director of compliance. Calarco comes to the company from Idorsia Pharmaceuticals, where he had been senior director of U.S. compliance for a bit more than a year.
