Before joining Kimberly-Clark as its chief ethics and compliance officer in 2016, Kurt Drake already had more than 20 years of global ethics and compliance and finance experience. 

He has been the chief ethics & compliance officer for GE Aviation, Mubadala Development Co., PPG Industries, and General Cable. In these roles, he has successfully built and led global ethics and compliance programs and teams in a range of industries. For more than nine years of his career, he took his talents overseas to China, Italy, and the Middle East. A common denominator at each company: building a world-class compliance program unique to each entity, eschewing the easy route of a cookie-cutter, check-the-box program.
