    Compliance as a Product Differentiator with Susan Cooper
    Sep 24 2025
    In today’s episode, Lisa Fine speaks with Susan Cooper, Vice President of Regulatory Compliance Programs and Global Data Protection Officer at Meta, discussing her approach to compliance in the technology sector. Susan discusses the path that led her to her current role, which is unique as her team is embedded within Meta’s product organization. Being part of the product development team allows compliance to work hand-in-hand with product development through their risk review process, which assesses privacy, security, content safety, and financial risks in a centralized process for over 1,400 products per month. It is part of their processes. Susan also discusses how Meta utilizes “privacy-aware infrastructure,” embedding compliance requirements into standardized, reusable code components that can be used throughout the organization. She also provides some advice for compliance professionals, particularly those who are interested in technology companies, including: Learn to speak “tech” if you want to work in tech compliance. Get to know your stakeholders and their concerns; Keep a growth mindset – be willing to ask questions and learn constantly; and Embrace AI and automation tools to scale your work and keep learning about these tools.

    2025 SCCE Roundup with Special Guest Adam Turteltaub
    Sep 17 2025
    Breaking News! #teamgwic was at the Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics (SCCE) annual Ethics & Compliance Institute in Nashville and is here to give you an update on our experience. Ellen, Lisa, and Hemma all caught up mid-conference to interview each other about their panels and also what people were talking about outside the presentations. We had the chance to recap on our earlier panels: Ellen about how to train leaders to hear and act on bad news in a way to improve our programs; Hemma speaking about how to move your program from a risk-avoidant program to a forward-thinking ethics and compliance program, which is ultimately a competitive advantage, and Lisa’s panel which discussed data analytics for humans – intended to be a practical discussion of what data analytics are and how we are all analyzing data. At the end, we were able to bring in a surprise guest – the one and only Adam Turteltaub, SCCE’s Chief Strategy and Engagement Officer. He provided highlights of the conference so far and updates about SCCE’s new CEO, Garth Jordan. Sarah was unable to join the recording, but all would agree that CEI left us with new ideas, new friends, and the chance to catch up with this great community.

  • Catching Up with the OG GWIC with Mary Shirley

    Catching Up with the OG GWIC with Mary Shirley
    Sep 3 2025
    Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance podcast with Hemma Lomax and Lisa Fine, sponsored by Corporate Compliance Insight and a part of the Compliance Podcast Network. My guest today isn’t really a guest; she’s so much more. She is an architect of GWIC, my first partner in compliance, and my first compliance friend, who remains a dear friend to this day. She coined the phrase “Send the Elevator Back Down,” taught me about tall poppy syndrome, and I am still using her cheat codes. Of course, it’s Mary Shirley! Mary, can you update everyone on all the cool things that have been happening since you became, as we call it, #GWICemerita? As a global compliance leader who has lived in several countries and now three very different states in the US, what do you see as the principles of a “culture of integrity” that apply to any business, regardless of geography or industry? While there have been changes in US laws, particularly the FCPA, and newer laws in the EU and the UK, among others, are you seeing any shifts in how to define – or communicate – a culture of integrity? You have compiled a list of questions for job seekers to ask about the terms of compliance programs and a culture of integrity. What do you think is the most revealing one and why? I look forward to seeing you very soon at SCCE CEI. You and Matt Kelly are presenting “AI Governance for N00bs: A Beginner’s Guide for the Non-Tech Compliance Practitioner” on Sunday to kick off the event. What do you see as the biggest opportunities for compliance professionals to use AI and machine learning? What challenges do you see for integrating AI and machine learning into their compliance program, and how should we approach it? What about the algorithmic bias? It seems like ethics and compliance are being welcomed as “partners” at the AI governance table. What do you think is the most significant reason for this shift, and what can a compliance professional do to ensure they maintain that strategic seat at the table? When you think about the first 200 episodes, do you have a specific non-substantive, non-podcast memory that sticks out to you? Besides the origin story – which I still tell!
