Compliance pros Lomax, Kim added to the Compliance Week Advisory Board

Lomax is Vice President, Deputy General Counsel, and Global Head of Ethics and Compliance at DocuSign, where she oversees the company’s global ethics, risk, and compliance function.

Kim is Senior Director, Compliance, Asia Pacific at PVH Corp., the global parent company of Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger. Kim has over two decades of experience building legal and compliance programs across Europe and Asia, spanning roles in U.S. law firms, publicly traded and privately held multinationals, and U.K. and Malaysian government departments.

Both women will take the stage at Compliance Week National 2026, the industry’s premier annual gathering of the world’s leading corporate ethics and compliance professionals and regulatory experts, May 6–8 at The Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C.

Compliance Week’s Advisory Board is made up of practitioners, consultants, academics, and other proven thought leaders in the compliance and ethics space. CW regularly consults with the Advisory Board to make better-informed decisions about editorial coverage and conference agendas, and to ensure CW’s content and programming topics match what practitioners are looking for.

Dr. Lomax brings more than two decades of experience leading compliance programs at scale across high-growth technology, social media, and entertainment companies, including Disney, Zendesk, and Snap Inc. She is co-host of the Great Women in Compliance podcast, co-author of The Art of Culture Building Trilogy, and founder of COMPAAS 360, where she applies behavioral science to compliance program design. During her career, she has served at the United Nations, as a University professor, as a barrister in the Courts of England and Wales, as U.K. Parliamentary Counsel, and as a prosecutor with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. 

“ECI and Compliance Week sit at the intersection of research, standards, and journalism in a way no other organization in this profession does,” said Dr. Lomax. “I look forward to contributing to its mission and to the conversations we will have in Washington in May.”

Dr. Lomax will advise on editorial direction, help identify emerging topics, and contribute to ECI and Compliance Week’s benchmarking, certification, events, and intelligence solutions.

“Hemma has built compliance programs that function as genuine business partners, not legal checkboxes,” said James Lindstrom, CEO of Verdian, the parent company of the Ethics and Compliance Initiative (ECI) and Compliance Week. “Her approach to ethics as a design feature, to AI governance, and to legacy-driven leadership is exactly what our readers need to be thinking about right now. We are fortunate to add her counsel to our editorial board.”

Kim is one of the most decorated compliance practitioners working in Asia today. She was named Rising Star in Compliance at the 2022 Compliance Week Excellence in Compliance Awards and shortlisted for Compliance Officer of the Year at the 2020 Women in Compliance Awards. A Malaysian national based in Shanghai, she has spent more than two decades building legal and compliance programs across Europe and Asia, with experience spanning U.S. law firms, publicly traded and privately held multinationals, and U.K. and Malaysian government departments.

Her expertise covers anti-corruption and fraud investigations, third-party compliance, data privacy, China regulatory risk, and supply chain integrity. She is multilingual and has served as a recurring guest lecturer on ethical leadership and organizational behavior at the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics.

“Compliance programs that do not take into account cultural nuances and cross jurisdictions are rarely sustainable,” said Kim. “I am glad to work with ECI and Compliance Week to bring more rigorous global perspectives to practitioners building programs that hold up under pressure.”

Kim will advise on global editorial strategy, contribute expertise on Asia Pacific regulatory developments, and support coverage of third-party risk, cross-border enforcement, and international program design.

“Kim brings a perspective that is genuinely rare in our coverage: deep practitioner expertise in Asia Pacific compliance at a moment when supply chain risk and global third-party management are at the top of every CCO’s agenda,” Lindstrom said. “Her addition to the board strengthens our ability to serve the compliance function in multinational organizations.”
