This week Radical Compliance has new hires at LACERA, Bank of Montreal, Avangrid, Zee Entertainment, Akamai Technologies, and more. Promotions to note at Temple University, Amazon, and Allianz Life; and job leads are in AI, medical care, and credit cards. Plus its Meme of the Week! Radical Compliance gather the Jobs Report news items from LinkedIn, press releases, and wherever else Radical Compliance can find tips - and thank you to everyone who sends them in, you make the Jobs Report possible! If you have any gossip to share (even confidentially) email me at [email protected] or find me on LinkedIn. Compliance Jobs. First up this week: Harper Wells, well known in the compliance industry for appearances on the conference circuit, has joined LACERA (the Los Angeles County Employee Retirement Association) as chief ethics and compliance officer. Wells comes to the organization after seven years at Confirm (née Learning Pool), where she had been head of strategy and chief compliance officer. I'm also told LACERA may be hiring a few more compliance staffers in months to come, so stay tuned. Jim McHale is the new chief risk and governance officer at wealth management firm &Partners (yes, the ampersand is part of the firm name). McHale joins the firm from LPL Financial, where he had been chief compliance officer for two years. Unclear who'll succeed McHale as CCO at LPL Financial but a firm that large will need to fill that role sooner rather than later. This one wins coolest job title of the week: Bank of Montreal has hired Mike Sherrod as global head of insider threats. Sherrod comes to BMO after seven years at Truist, where he most recently was head of exam and issues management. Marianne Fogarty has parted ways with Ingram Micro, where she had been chief compliance officer for nearly three years. Not sure what Fogarty might do next, although she did say on LinkedIn that she is "moving on to my next chapter." (Fogarty had also been CCO of Twitter before Ingram Micro.) The Flynn Group, a low-profile operator of franchise restaurants that's actually one of those huge businesses you never hear about, has hired Lauren Beck as employment and compliance counsel. Beck joins the company from law firm Jackson Lewis, where she had been an associate attorney for two years. Melissa Malone has rejoined Avangrid, one of the larger power utilities in the United States, as chief compliance officer for its networks division. Malone had previously worked at Avangrid as director of compliance until mid-2025 and then apparently took a career break. Indian entertainment business Zee Entertainment has cast Sangeeta Shetty as chief compliance officer and corporate secretary. Shetty joins Zee after three years at Abbott as compliance officer for its India operations. Elena Camargo just turned up at Eaton Corp. as lead IT auditor. Camargo was last seen at Rite Aid, where she had been an information security risk and compliance analyst until 2025. U.S. defense contractor Covenant has hired Stephan Collins as export controls and trade compliance manager. Collins comes to the Virginia-based firm from Lockheed Martin, where he had been a senior trade compliance officer for five years. Online trading platform Oanda has hired Joanna Wilcox as global chief compliance officer. Wilcox, based in London, joins the firm after two years at trading firm FXCM, where she had been group chief compliance officer. Tomislava Pribanic has left her job at Novartis, where she had been associate director of ethics and compliance in the pharma giant's southeastern Europe operations; to join the Lenis Group, a boutique medical and pharmaceuticals distributor in the region. She'll be chief compliance officer there. Devi Shanmugham has joined securities brokerage Cantor Fitzgerald as global chief regulatory counsel. Shanmugham previously worked as global head of compliance at TradeWeb until last month. Wonderful, a Dutch software firm that helps enterprises implement AI solutions, has hired Sharon Guy as head of privacy and global compliance. Guy joins Wonderful from Natural Intelligence, an Israeli firm dabbling in marketing software, where she held the same role. Alisyn Crawford has a new job as senior director of compliance and regulatory affairs for the Michigan Primary Care Association. Crawford previously worked as an administrative law judge at the Michigan Office of Administrative Hearings and Rules. In Boston, Wellington Management has hired Michael Cheng as a senior compliance analyst. Cheng comes to Wellington from State Street Investment Management, where he had been business controls officer. Bill Dimmig has joined Modivcare as director of compliance. Dimmig joins the Denver-based healthcare services company from Equality Health, where he had also been director of compliance. Kevin Kelly is the new vice president of internal audit at Financial Center, a credit union based in Indianapolis. Kelly joins the firm from Elements Financial, where he had been director of internal audit since 2021. Cross-border and crypto payments firm Circle has hired Carolina Hasse as director of compliance and anti-money laundering in its Brazil operations. Hasse, based in São Paulo, comes to Circle from Stark Bank, where she had been legal and compliance director since the start of 2025. IREN, an AI cloud software provider in Australia, just picked up Janice Chan as senior manager for risk and compliance. Chan comes to IREN after five years at the Macquarie Group, most recently as a senior risk manager. Justine Squires has joined Akamai Technologies as a senior program manager leading compliance for the company's compute platform. Lazo previously worked at Motorola Solutions as a cybersecurity assurance manager. Littelfuse, maker of electrical equipment for a wide range of industries, has hired Sheri McGrath as director of sustainability strategy and compliance. McGrath previously worked at Element Fleet Management as vice president of sustainability. One bit of sad news: Heather Hurst, chief compliance officer at CDL Nuclear Technologies since 2023, recently passed away. Earlier in her career Hurst ran compliance at Cook Medical and also worked at Boston Scientific and ProCure Treatment Centers. Radical Compliance extend its sympathies to her loved ones; no word yet on why or who might lead compliance at CDL now. And Wells Fargo has hired Keyona Reynolds as a financial crimes specialist. Reynolds previously worked as an administrative assistant and a waitress; welcome to the profession, Ms. Reynolds. Moving up the ladder. The big promotion this week is in higher education, where Temple University is promoting Michael Gebhardt from university secretary to chief compliance officer. Gebhardt has been with Temple for more than 20 years in various legal roles. He succeeds Susan Smith, who is retiring from the school early next year. British accounting firm Gravita has promoted Amanda McVey from associate director of quality risk management to head of financial crime and data protection officer. Atlanta-based fintech firm Momnt has promoted Timothy Bado from senior legal counsel to chief compliance officer. Maleeha Razi has moved up at Amazon, from internal audit manager to strategic lead for "EU ATS ORT." I admit I'm not sure what those acronyms mean, other than she has a new role in European operations. Allianz Life has bumped up Tasha Scovill from audit analyst to principal ethics and compliance adviser. Vendors and service providers. The Society of Corporate Compliance & Ethics and the Health Care Compliance Association added a few folks to its board earlier this month: * Donna Abbondandolo, global chief compliance officer at Bon Secours Mercy Health; * Tal Freilich, until recently the vice president of governance, risk, and compliance at Swiss marketing services company DKSH; * Kasey Ingram, a longtime compliance pro who these days is president and chief operating officer of ISK Americas. Still no word on when SCCE-HCCA will get a permanent new chief executive officer but hopefully the new board will accelerate that search. Open req orders. Mastercard is looking for a manager of global mobility compliance, which the credit card giant describes as "leading the compliance infrastructure supporting employees working across jurisdictional boundaries" - so, business travel, temporary cross-border work, and so forth. Job can be based in either Purchase, N.Y., or O'Fallon, Mo.; with a salary range of $129,000 to $206,000 for New York or $112,000 to $179,000 for Missouri. Anthropic is looking for a SOX compliance program manager (further proving that no, the AI agents can't do everything and leave Radical Compliance all unemployed). Job can be based in either San Francisco or New York; salary range is $290,000 to $365,000. Even if the IPO gets delayed the company will need to fill this role eventually. Boston Medical Center is looking for a chief compliance officer. Job is based in Boston, with a salary range listed at $321,000 to $370,000. Compliance Meme of the Week That's all for this week's report. As always, if you have a tip or want to brag about your new job, promotion, career milestone, or anything else, email me at [email protected] or find me on LinkedIn. I'm always happy to give credit to the many hard-working people here in its corner of the business universe.
