Compliance Jobs
This week we start with a Jonathan Turner sighting: the former chief compliance officer at Zoll Medical, who left that role at the end of December, has resurfaced at Avanos Medical, a medical equipment manufacturer in Atlanta; Turner will be chief ethics and compliance officer. He succeeds Michelle Scharfenberg, who had been CCO since 2020 and left Avanos after closing out a deferred-prosecution agreement there.
As for Zoll, word is that Ariadna Quesada will hold down the fort as interim head of compliance and privacy. She has been with Zoll since 2021 and is head of privacy, governance, and compliance for the EMEA region.
Kateryna Voina has a new job working for Honeywell, as director of anticorruption compliance for the EMEA region. Voina previously worked at Ericsson for nearly four years as a regional compliance officer in Europe.
Another week, another announcement from TD Bank as it keeps building out its (vastly understaffed) regulatory compliance team. This week the bank announced that it has promoted Jacqueline Sanjuas from U.S. head of financial crime risk management to global head of financial crime risk management. Sanjuas joined TD one year ago after nearly 20 years at Citibank, ending there as chief compliance officer for AML and Bank Secrecy Act compliance. She succeeds Herb Mazariegos, who “will be leaving the bank.”

First, chief compliance officer Argiri Kasapaki is stepping away from that role to be a management adviser. Succeeding her as CCO is Panagiotis Tsoukatos, the bank’s current chief audit executive. And Piraeus has hired Andreas Anastasiou to succeed Tsoukatos as chief audit executive. Anastasiou comes to the bank from Intercontinental Exchange, where he has been head of audit for the EMEA and Asia-Pacific regions.
Scintilla, a digital payments startup based in Dubai, has hired Janey Schueller as chief compliance officer.

Ekta Moorjani has joined Lamb Weston, the potato and french fry giant, as international internal audit manager; she’s based in the Netherlands. Moorjani comes to the Idaho-based company from STX Group, where she had been internal audit and controls lead.
Cooley (yes, the law firm Cooley; law firms have GRC employees too) has promoted Jay Robinson from senior information governance compliance coordinator to information governance compliance lead.
Jennifer Konschake has joined Beam Benefits (the insurance firm in Ohio, not the booze company everywhere) as compliance manager. Konschake previously worked at UnitedHealth Group for nine years as senior regulatory affairs specialist.

And French luxury giant Hermès has hired Vanja Božić as internal controller for the company’s finance department. She joins the fashion house from Ernst & Young, where she had been a financial services consultant in Paris. One assumes the staff are much more stylishly dressed at her new employer.
