This week Radical Compliance begin with the Bristow Group, which provides helicopter and other aviation services to the oil & gas industry; it just hired Daniel Elustondo as chief compliance officer. Elustondo joins the Houston-based company after seven years at Shell, where he had been senior legal counsel in the regulatory group. Next is an update on Melissa Clawson, who announced last week that she was stepping down as chief audit executive at restaurant chain Wendy's.

Envista Holdings Corp., a maker of dental equipment, has hired Matt Silverman as senior director of global trade compliance. Silverman was last seen at Caterpillar, where he was assistant general counsel of compliance until last year. Silverman also does a fair bit of writing and speaking about trade compliance, which probably keeps him quite busy these days. Rebekah Mihm has a new job as head of legal operations, ethics, and ESG at UFP Technologies, a maker of sterile packaging and other medical equipment. Mihm comes to UFP from Harman International, where she had been director of corporate sustainability and ESG until this past spring. Looks like a few folks have been exiting British betting business Entain lately. Karen Nightingale has stepped down as group director of ethics and compliance, a role she held at Entain since 2023. Anandee Chowdhury also separated from the company the other week after two years there; she had been a group ethics and compliance associate.

Raytheon has hired Jen Zrilska as a compliance manager. Zrilska joins the defense contractor from Dow Jones, where she had been head of due diligence for the Americas region.

Bełza previously spent five years at Radiometer, where he had been a global trade compliance specialist. The Orix Group, a Japanese financial services conglomerate, has hired Junyeon Park as compliance counsel and global investigations lead. Park comes to Orix from the law firm Herbert Smith Freehills, where she had been counsel for several years. And incidentally, you may have seen news that Uber is cutting 3,000 jobs, or about 10 percent of its global workforce. I've noticed a small but steady stream of risk, compliance, and audit professionals at Uber subsequently announcing on LinkedIn that they've lost their jobs.

The deal brings together Wood Mackenzie's analytics platform with LandGate's data on transmission infrastructure and over 150 million US land parcels. Power generation investment in the US is expected to reach $1.36 trillion through 2035, with data centres accounting for roughly 68% of load growth through 2030.

The acquisition enables Wood Mackenzie to offer clients a unified view connecting demand, supply and infrastructure for capital allocation decisions across the full investment lifecycle.

Wood Mackenzie acquires LandGate to deliver connected intelligence for the new era of US power markets. Acquisition of 150 million parcel-level land intelligence dataset strengthens Wood Mackenzie's leading market position and will drive faster, higher-confidence capital allocation decisions for power, renewables, and data center developers. LONDON/HOUSTON/SINGAPORE, June 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Wood Mackenzie, a global leader in data, analytics and insights for the energy and natural resources industry, today announced the acquisition of LandGate. The deal combines Wood Mackenzie's power market forecasting and supply chain analytics with LandGate's proprietary land and grid intelligence, as electricity demand grows at an unprecedented pace. "Wood Mackenzie is committed to providing the data, analytics and insights our clients need to make critical decisions in an increasingly complex energy world," said Jason Liu, CEO of Wood Mackenzie. "The system is becoming more interconnected and companies that rely on siloed approaches will be left behind. This acquisition advances our strategy by bringing LandGate's granular land and infrastructure data into our platform, giving customers a uniquely connected view of where demand is growing, how the grid must respond, and where capital should flow." Power generation investment in the US is expected to reach $1.36 trillion through 2035. Data centers are at the forefront of this growth and Wood Mackenzie estimates they will account for roughly 68% of US load growth through 2030. That concentration of large-scale, location-specific load is shifting power markets from a supply-led model to one defined by demand and whether grid infrastructure can respond in time. Decisions made at the earliest stages of project development are more crucial than ever and require data connecting power market fundamentals to ground-level site conditions within a single workflow. Founded in Denver, Colorado in 2016, LandGate offers a highly differentiated and proprietary data and analytics solution, leveraging insights on the US power transmission grid and more than 150 million land parcels in the US to support critically important capital allocation decisions for data centers, power and renewables projects, and other energy infrastructure assets. "The energy industry is undergoing a fundamental transformation, and our customers are at the heart of it," said Yoann Hispa CEO of LandGate. "By combining our proprietary data and insights with Wood Mackenzie, we are creating a unified ecosystem that will strengthen our offerings and accelerate the growth and innovation our clients rely on." "The future of power market analysis requires connecting demand, supply, networks and infrastructure in a single decision-making framework," said Xizhou Zhou, Executive Vice President and Head of Power & Renewables at Wood Mackenzie. "LandGate adds a critical layer of high-resolution data across land, transmission and large-load demand that allows us to model and understand markets from the ground up and significantly enhances our ability to support clients through the full investment lifecycle, from screening and siting to development and financing." KippsDeSanto & Co., KPMG, and Brach Eichler LLC served respectively as financial, tax, and legal advisors to LandGate in connection with the transaction.
