Compliance Jobs Report: Feb. 3

The Compliance Jobs Report keeps busting out! We have another big report, with news from Dartmouth College, Ericsson, Nvidia, Cloudflare, and many more — even some personnel updates from the regulators! Job leads this week in medical devices, electronics, and liquor; plus a new section tracking compliance layoffs.

As always, thank you to all the compliance people sending me tips and links to keep this report going. We need your help to make the Report work, so send me some news! If you have a tip to pass along, email me at mkelly@radicalcompliance.com or find me on LinkedIn.

Layoffs Watch

This is a new section of the Jobs Report we will, unfortunately, include as necessary. This week we’re passing along word that AbbVie has laid off an unspecified number of people in its legal and compliance teams. We don’t know the exact number, and the news isn’t unexpected. The cuts seem to be focused on AbbVie’s West Coast operations. 

If you have news of layoffs you want to share confidentially, send us an email any time.

Compliance Jobs News

This week we begin at Dartmouth College, which has named Alejandro Diaz its first-ever chief compliance officer. Diaz comes to Dartmouth after five years at Temple University, where he had also been that school’s first-ever chief compliance officer. Prior to Temple, Diaz also held high-ranking compliance roles at Eaton Corp. and Coca-Cola Enterprises. Nice profile of Diaz and what he wants to do at Dartmouth from the school’s in-house media office. 

Hayley Tozeski is moving on from Ericsson, where she had been head of compliance strategy and liaison for Ericsson’s outside compliance monitor since 2020. We’re not sure what Tozeski might do next; she only says she is “looking forward to some down time before it’s on to the next act!” One assumes she will let Radical Compliance know first.

Nasif comes to the company from VMWare, where she had been assistant general counsel and North America labor law lead.

Krista Muszak, one of the nicest compliance officers in Tampa, Fla., has left her job at Johnson & Johnson as supervisor for SOX compliance and controls; to join Pfizer working on M&A and other special projects.
