For a guy who served nearly 30 years as a Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and has had hands-on experience building out corporate ethics and compliance programs amid not just one but two government investigations, you could say Jeff Killeen brings a unique perspective to doing compliance smartly and effectively, based on lessons learned along the way.
When Killeen first stepped into his current role as chief compliance officer at Bumble Bee Seafoods in 2016, he was presented with a tall order: Consolidate the company’s scattered compliance program—and, by the way, the company is under a criminal antitrust investigation. In fact, within six weeks of Killeen being on the job, two Bumble Bee senior executives—Walter Scott Cameron and Ken Worsham—pleaded guilty to charges of participating in a scheme to fix seafood prices in the United States.
