Compliance Jobs News
Remember that last week we noted the departure of Alexis Wermuth from Getinge, where she had been head of healthcare compliance? Now we know where she landed: at Colson Medical, a subsidiary of manufacturing conglomerate Marmon Holdings, which itself is held by even bigger conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway. Wermuth is chief compliance officer at Colson.
Speaking of Getinge, Bruno Camargo has just left the company after five years there in various ethics and compliance roles. He had been global ESG counsel since the start of this year; prior to that he had been head of legal, compliance, and governance for southern Europe and Latin America. Camargo says that for now he’ll do independent legal consulting, based in Brazil.
ScotiaBank has announced a few personnel moves in its risk assurance ranks. First, Maria Theofilaktidis has been promoted from executive vice president of global finance to chief auditor; if her name rings a bell, that’s because Theofilaktidis pulled three years as ScotiaBank’s chief compliance officer in the late 2010s. The bank also promoted Phil Thomas from executive vice president of customer insights and data analytics to chief risk officer. (Which is an interesting statement about the skills set a CRO should have these days.)
Engineering and consulting giant Wood has hired Andrew Baird as compliance counsel for the Western Hemisphere. Baird comes to Wood (which is based in Britain) after a year at Enerflex Ltd., where he was associate general counsel and compliance officer.
Relievant Medsystems, a Minnesota company that makes medical devices to help with low back pain, has hired Lacey Daugherty as compliance officer. Daugherty comes to Relievant after a few years running her own healthcare compliance consulting business; prior to that she worked as a compliance officer at Teleflex.
Elin Cherry, one of the most delightful compliance consultants in the financial services industry, is going in-house to Marex, a financial trading platform based in London. Cherry will be head of U.S. compliance. Cherry had run her own firm, Elinphant, for the last seven years.
Arc Westchester, a social services organization in Westchester County, N.Y., that helps people with intellectual disabilities, has hired Nicole Benjamin as assistant executive director for quality and corporate compliance. Benjamin previously worked at the Westchester County Department of Social Services managing contract compliance.
In Brazil, Caterina Fazenda has joined Ultragenyx, a biotech firm developing treatments for rare diseases, as executive director of legal and compliance for the Latin America region. Fazenda comes to the company after eight years at BioMarin Pharmaceuticals in similar Latin America legal and compliance roles.
Lora Jex has left her job as chief compliance officer at Southern First Bank, a community bank in South Carolina, to be chief risk officer at HomeTrust Bank, a community bank in North Carolina.
BNP Paribas has promoted Dmitri Muringer from head of compliance supervisory affairs in the Asia-Pacific region to COO for compliance in that region. Muringer has been with BNP in numerous compliance and IT security roles since the early 2000s.
Medical device giant Stryker has hired Gabriela Bobzin as compliance manager for Argentina. She previously worked at Ferring Pharmaceuticals in several compliance roles, most recently as global compliance coordinator in Latin America.
Ronak Waghule has joined Citco Group, which provides financial services support to hedge funds, private equity firms, and the like, as manager of group compliance and regulatory affairs. Waghule comes to Citco from (the recently demised) Credit Suisse, where he worked in compliance for the Asia-Pacific region.
Diana Złotnicka has signed up with Johnson & Johnson in Poland, where she will be a business compliance associate for the EMEA region. Złotnicka previously worked at Polpharma as a compliance specialist.
Melissa Salvador has joined the U.S. Department of Defense as an auditor, working from Dallas. Prior to that she was accounting and operations manager for Duralast, a U.S. chemicals manufacturer.
And remember Nora Dannehy, head of global ethics and compliance for United Technologies back in the 2010s? She has just been nominated to be associate justice of the Connecticut Supreme Court. These days Dannehy is a partner at Connecticut law firm Cowdery, Murphy, Dannehy & Healy; prior to that she was general counsel to Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont. I’ve been arguing for a compliance officer to serve on high courts for years, glad to see it happening in the Nutmeg State!
