Compliance Jobs Report: May 3
This week the Compliance Jobs Report has a stealth departure at Citibank, new hires at Balfour Beatty, Walmart, Masimo, and elsewhere; and lots of internal promotions to note too. Job leads are in banking, credit cards, and IT services; and Meme of the Week goes out to reckless use of artificial intelligence!

Compliance Jobs Report
We begin in London this week, with news that Citibank recently culled its chief compliance officer for the EMEA region, Dominic Hirons. Hirons had been in that role for five years; word on the street is that he departed as part of a larger wave of job cuts Citi imposed earlier this year. No word on what he might do next or who might next run compliance operations in Europe.
Also in London, Neill Cooke has joined Balfour Beatty as U.K. head of compliance. Cooke joins the construction and engineering giant after 10 years at Rolls Royce, most recently as head of ethics and compliance for Rolls’ civil aerospace division.
Michelle Missal has resigned as chief compliance officer for Paragon 28, a medical device maker that is “exclusively a foot and ankle company.” Missal had been CCO there for eight years. Not clear what she may do next, but Missal did post a nice farewell to her colleagues and mentioned something about “my newest adventure.”
