Compliance Jobs

This week we begin with a promotion at the Walgreens Boots Alliance, where Paul Jaquez has moved up from deputy compliance and ethics officer to managing global compliance counsel. Jaquez has been with Walgreens since 2019.

Houlihan Lokey, the investment bank based in Los Angeles, has hired Marc Ben-Canaan as chief compliance officer for U.S. operations. Ben-Canaan comes to the firm from Select Equity Group, where he had been director of compliance since 2018.

Valerie Nelson has joined Citizens as executive director of compliance. Nelson comes to the bank from Capital One, where she spent the last nine years as head of compliance for commercial banking and functions.

Oracle just picked up Phil Horowitz as an internal audit manager. Horowitz was previously at CIBC for a year working on technology control assessments, and prior to that spent 20 years at Avaya as director of internal audit.

Lacy McKillip has joined brokerage firm Charles Schwab as senior manager of compliance risk testing. McKillip previously worked at TIAA for 10 years, most recently as manager of regulatory program management, a rather meta title. 

Zippy, a financial services firm that says it provides “manufactured home loans,” has promoted Lauren Ryburn from compliance officer to director of compliance. 

Online betting company Flutter Entertainment has hired Keith Mullen as group compliance analyst. Mullen comes to Flutter from Mars Capital, where he had been an operational risk specialist.

Fredy Sandoval has joined Tokio Marine HCC as compliance lead. Sandoval comes to the insurance firm after a year at AaSys Group, where he was a regulatory compliance consultant.

Sticking with insurance, Gieco has promoted Megan McCauley from internal controls compliance analyst to senior compliance analyst. McCauley has been with Gieco for one year. 

TD Bank has hired Jeffrey Lurie as an internal audit manager. Lurie comes to TD from Texas Capital Bank, where he had also been an internal audit manager.

Abbott Labs has promoted Christopher Moody, from ethics and compliance officer for medical devices to associate general counsel for medical devices. We wish him well, although losing “ethics and compliance” in your title does make one a tiny bit less cool.

Danette Slevinski just turned up at the Start Center for Cancer Research, where she is the new vice president of compliance. Slevinski had been doing solo consulting work since she parted ways at the start of this year with Atlantic Health System, where she had been chief compliance, privacy, and internal audit officer. (Yikes, that’s a lotta hats.)

Somatus, a healthcare organization specializing in kidney care, has hired Shavonne Wyche-Davis as vice president of corporate compliance. Wyche-Davis previously worked at Group 1001, a health insurer, where she had been director of compliance until earlier this summer. 

Digital banking startup Revolut has hired Erin Malone as compliance manager. Malone, who is based in Northern Ireland, joins Revolut from the Ballymena Causeway Credit Union, where most recently she had been risk and compliance manager. 

Gitanjali Sakhuja has joined Americares, a healthcare and disaster relief nonprofit, as associate general counsel. Sakhuja comes to Americares from Eyesea, a nonprofit that works on maritime anti-pollution issues, where she had been general counsel. 

Optiver, a Dutch financial services firm, has promoted Jelle Lantinga from head of trading advisory to head of compliance for the Australia market. (Here’s hoping he read our post about Australia’s new guidance for “adequate procedures” for compliance programs.)

Daniel Bowering has joined Aviso, a Canadian firm that provides back-end services to wealth management firms, as chief compliance officer. Bowering comes to the firm after several years working as a freelance compliance officer  for local financial firms.

CBOE, the Chicago-based derivatives exchange, has promoted Amy Thornton from compliance manager for policy governance to senior manager.

Cresset, multi-family office and private investment firm based in Chicago, has hired Amy Hong as chief compliance officer. Hong previously worked at JPMorgan Chase as managing director in its wealth management division, helping JPM to integrate First Republic into its operations (little surprise, given that Hong had been at First Republic prior to joining JPM). Hong succeeds  Bob Pagliuco, who is retiring.

Apollo Global Management has promoted Scott Lucy from business manager for corporate and financial systems to director of internal audit and SOX compliance. Lucy has been with the asset management giant since 2022.

BASF has promoted Polina Lobanova from senior counsel for legal and compliance to executive counsel for legal and compliance.

And BCB Group, a provider of back-end services to cryptocurrency firms, is losing its compliance officer Natasha Powell. Powell had been with the firm since May 2022; no word on what she might do next. Powell is the fifth senior executive to leave BCB in 18 months. Hmmm.
