This week Radical Compliance begin at Crocs, perhaps the world's most well-known maker of ugly but comfortable shoes; the company has hired Anne DeTraglia as vice president of internal audit and enterprise risk. DeTraglia walks into Crocs from Sabre Corp., where she had also been VP of audit and risk until she left the company earlier this year. Gina Bucker is joining Chewy, the online pet food delivery people, as head of internal audit; she starts Oct. 5.

Payments firm Block has hired Nick DiBari as lead for compliance issues management. DiBari joins the company after seven years at Interactive Brokers, the last five of them as global head of anti-money laundering compliance. (This would be the same Block, by the way, that proudly announced eight months ago that it was cutting 40 percent of its staff to embrace AI. Glad to see at least some humans are still getting hired.) First Citizens Bank has deposited Matt Marteney onto the payroll as vice president of compliance. Marteney joins First Citizen after 28 years at Wells Fargo, where he had most recently been director of financial crimes governance.

And in Miami, Raul Ocampo is the new senior manager for information and security compliance for the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, a group of three luxury yachts that people richer than me can take on vacation. Ocampo sails into this job from Optiv, where he had been head of cybersecurity operations. One hopes he got some free yacht time as part of the package. Regulatory world. Heidi Sorensen has joined the Department of Health & Human Services as deputy associate general counsel for program integrity at the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Sorensen previously spent 19 years at the law firm Alston & Bird. Moving up the ladder.
