Some professionals enter the field of compliance, ethics, and corporate social responsibility by way of a happy accident. But not Cédric Dubar. His legal background and deep commitment to building corporate integrity drove him to seek out opportunities in the compliance and ethics space. Once there, he built a career for himself as a leading advocate of business ethics that has continued to this day.
Born in the north of France, Dubar studied law and language in Paris, and moved to Toulouse, in the south of France, after graduation. There he obtained his postgraduate degree in business law. He moved to Pittsburgh, Pa. to live with family for 16 months while he further studied business law before returning to France and beginning his career in 1998, when he joined BNP Paribas bank as in-house counsel specializing in mergers and acquisitions.
