Welcome to Risky Women Radio, the podcast that spotlights the bold, brilliant women leading change across risk, compliance, and governance. In an era where "uncertainty" has been upgraded from a buzzword to a permanent state of being, we sit down with the leaders who navigate the chaos so the rest of us can sleep at night.

In this episode, Zhiyun Nai, Managing Director at Protiviti, is joined by Jean Chung, Chief Compliance Officer for Hong Kong, Greater China, and North Asia at Standard Chartered Bank.

Jean is a veteran of the compliance world who has spent over two decades bridging the gap between policy and purpose. From setting international standards in Singapore to advising the Korea FIU on crypto assets, Jean has seen it all. She joins us to discuss the "80/20 rule" of global regulation, why AI might actually make her team's lives better (rather than just replacing them), and how the definition of leadership has evolved from "don't be too soft" to "empathy is your superpower".
