Compliance Jobs

This week we begin at Raytheon, which continues to build up its ethics and compliance ranks after a major corruption settlement in 2024. The company just hired Jason McMackin as associate director of its global ethics office. McMackin comes to Raytheon from L3Harris Technologies, where he most recently had been a legal compliance specialist.

Mental health startup Rula has hired Christ Zitzer as vice president of compliance, ethics, and privacy. Zitzer joins the firm, which helps to match therapists and mental health patients, from AmeriHealth Caritas, where he had been chief compliance officer since the start of 2023.

Kristel Imeraj has parted ways with Koch Industries after five years there, most recently as senior audit manager. Imeraj has joined Stand Together, a nonprofit organization, where she is associate director of internal audit.

Quest Diagnostics has hired Samantha Molleda as director of compliance for its Eastern region. Molleda comes to Quest from Brightside Health, a mental health organization, where she had been director of compliance since last year.

Remember Liz Atlee, last seen as chief ethics and compliance officer at real estate giant CBRE until last September? She recently turned up at FiveStar Gourmet Foods as general counsel and chief compliance officer. One assumes her office has great snacks in the breakroom.

Mitsubishi Motors North America has hired Mercedes Hernandez as trade compliance manager. Hernandez comes to Mitsubishi after three years at QAD Precision, where she had been a foreign trade consultant.

Diana Health, a women’s healthcare startup (which proudly says “We’re hiring!” on its LinkedIn profile), has hired Mala Narasimhan as quality and compliance manager. Narasimhan comes to the company from the Health Resources and Services Administration (a subsidiary of the Department of Health & Human Services), where she had been a public health adviser. 

Emily Steed has left Google, where she had been senior manager for privacy and security policies. She has joined Bloomberg to be senior risk manager. 

Sweet: Paul McClung has joined Honeywell as vice president of corporate audit for the conglomerate’s Solstice Advanced Materials unit. McClung previously worked at WestRock until last year as vice president of internal audit. 

Guardant Health has hired Jesse Nord as GRC lead. Nord previously worked at Kestra Medical Technologies as information security and data privacy partner. 

Pepsico has hired Nayeli Castillo as a global trade compliance manager, working from Mexico. Castillo comes to Pepsico from Constellation Brands, where she most recently was foreign trade compliance lead for Mexico.

Amanda Rocabado Nogueira has joined Bristol Myers Squibb as associate director of ethics and compliance in Brazil. Nogueira comes to BSM after eight years at Stryker’s Brazil operations, where she was head of compliance for the country.

Boston-based Repligen Corp. has hired May Tan as senior director of controls and SOX compliance. Tan comes to Repligen from Crocs, where she had been SOX director since 2023.

AleraCare has hired Jessica James as director of compliance. James comes to the Phoenix-based provider of medication services from Amedisys, where she had been vice president of compliance for acute care.

Dubai Ports World has hired Nada Chalabi as vice president of data audit, AI, and digital assurance solutions. Chalabi comes to DP World after six years at Deloitte, where she most recently was a senior adviser on cyber strategy and transformation. 

Dana Laack has joined medical device maker Karl Storz as director of compliance assurance. Laack previously worked at Glaukos Corp. for three years as director of compliance.  

Uber has hired Xuefie Li as head of compliance for Uber Payments. Li, based in Amsterdam, previously worked at Assurant for nearly six years, most recently as head of anti-money laundering compliance for Europe. 

Clip, a delightfully named digital commerce platform in Mexico, has named Elia Hernández ethics and integrity coordinator. Hernández previously worked at Citibanamex for four years as an ethics investigator. 

In Dallas, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group has hired Shamdia Odunsi as vice president of issues management for the Americas region, which is likely to keep her plenty busy since we all have so many issues these days. Anyway, Odunsi joins MUFJ after four years at Johnson & Johnson, where she had been a senior manager for supply chain finance. 

TD Bank, continuing its string of compliance-related hiring after a huge money-laundering settlement last year, has hired Derek Jones as compliance testing manager. Jones had previously been a regulatory examiner at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. 

Larry Odom just surfaced at electronics maker Jabil as global regulatory compliance program manager. Odom had previously been sales operations manager for AMD until the start of this year. 

Wintermute, a market maker in the cryptocurrency trading world, has hired Matthew Pizzo as chief compliance officer. Pizzo comes to the London-based Wintermute from Amazon Web Services, where he had been a principal regulatory specialist for three years. 

And we close this week with a bunch of personnel items from Australia! First, Daniel Moran is stepping down as chief compliance officer of ASX, the Australia Stock Exchange. Moran had been CCO since 2023 and worked in various roles there for nearly 16 years. He is the fourth senior exec to depart from ASX recently amid regulators’ concerns about the exchange’s risk management capabilities.

Next, Shane Isbester was just hired as compliance manager for Direct Wealth in Queensland. Isbester comes to the firm from Spark Financial Group in Brisbane, where he most recently was head of professional standards and governance. 

Jimmy Ly has joined the University of Western Australia in Perth as financial reporting and compliance manager. Ly comes to UWA from Mineral Resources Ltd., where he had been transactional treasury manager. Go Peacocks!

And Susan Xie has been hired at Sequoia Financial Group, a financial services firm in Melbourne, as advice compliance officer. Xie had previously worked at Commonwealth Bank as advice remediation case manager. Not sure whether the “advice” part of the job titles is an Australia thing but I like it!
