Compliance Jobs Report: July 26
We have an abbreviated Compliance Jobs Report this week since I’m on vacation, but still lots of news from Barclays, Comcast, Marqeta, USAA, Hertz, and more. Our job leads are in healthcare, higher ed, and special investigations; and Meme of the Week goes out to sustainability officers!

Wayne Scott has been named county auditor for Arlington County in Virginia, essentially serving as the county’s chief audit executive. Scott previously worked for JetBlue for a year running operational audits, and earlier in his career spent many years as top auditor for Universal Service Administrative Co.
Here’s a rather unusual corporate reshuffling: insurance giant USAA has announced that chief financial officer Jeff Wallace will be the firm’s new chief audit executive. Wallace succeeds Gilbert Gitiche, who stepped down as chief audit executive earlier this year.
Down in Australia, Agile Underwriting has named Matthew Rowan group risk and compliance officer. Rowan comes to Agile after a year at insurance giant Aon, where he had been chief compliance officer for Australia.
The University of Southern California has named chief compliance officer Stacy Giwa interim head of human resources too, while USC looks for a permanent HR boss. Giwa has been running the school’s ethics and compliance program since 2018.

She succeeds Nick Passarelli, who had been CCO at Brex until earlier this month.

Anna-Lisa Corrales has been promoted from chief compliance officer to general counsel at Vroom, which had been an online marketplace for used cars until it got out of that business in January, and these days runs a few auto loan businesses. Corrales succeeds Patricia Moran, who has downshifted into being a consultant for Vroom.
