Compliance Jobs News

This week we begin at Allianz, where Herve Gloaguen has stepped down after more than 30 years at the company, including his most recent stints as chief compliance officer and head of internal audit. Glouaguen wrote a touching departure note on LinkedIn, and we wish him well in his next venture (which at the moment seems to be a solo consulting practice, Paracas Advisors). No word yet on who will succeed Gloaguen as CCO.

Mastercard has promoted Karen Griffin from chief compliance officer to chief risk officer. In her new role, Griffin will oversee risk management strategy and activities. She had been CCO at Mastercard since 2014 and is a delightful person.
