Indrani Franchini will gladly tell you that she didn’t imagine a career in compliance when she was in law school. But after a few years practicing law at a firm that specialized in project finance work, she was looking for an opportunity that would place her in more of an adviser role as in-house counsel.
As luck would have it, one of the world’s top pharmaceutical companies, Pfizer, was looking for someone to join their newly formed compliance function. And so, in 2003, her compliance career began. By 2009, she would become the chief compliance counsel, overseeing Pfizer’s $40 billion global pharmaceutical business.
