Compliance leaders who want to become strategic partners—rather than mere risk mitigation specialists—must focus on three areas. These are:

  • Being more transparent;
  • Using data to make decisions; and
  • Collaborating with colleagues.

This advice was one of many useful takeaways from Compliance Week’s inaugural Women in Compliance Summit held in Atlanta on June 27-28. The event, conducted concurrently with CW’s Third-Party Risk Management Summit, attracted nearly 300 compliance and risk practitioners for two days dedicated to elevating attendees and addressing some of the unique challenges women face in the profession.
