Each year the Forum’s Steering Committee welcomes up to 48 chief compliance officers, personally selected and primarily from Fortune 200 organizations, to meet, benchmark their thinking with others from diverse industries, and discuss the most pressing issues they face.
Using candid, seminar-style discussion, the group shares their varied experiences and engages in meaningful dialogue on the most pressing issues in corporate compliance.
This elite group, comprised of experts in the field, personally nominates all invitees and develops the Agenda, which forms the basis of our discussions.
I serve as head of Corporate Affairs and Chief of Staff, reporting to the CEO, and as a member of the Executive Management Team (EMT), at a Fortune 500 diversified energy company. As Chief of Staff, I provide counsel and leverage to the CEO and to the EMT, working across business lines and corporate functions, to ensure strategy is implemented and operations are smooth. I help lead our COVID-19 response and lead our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiative, chaired by our CEO. Under Corporate Affairs, my direct reports include Government Affairs, Business Continuity, Sustainability, PositiveNRG (our philanthropic and culture arm), and I own a number of policies and procedures. I attend all meetings of the Board of Directors and, through Sustainability, PositiveNRG and Government Affairs, report annually to the Governance & Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors.
In addition to these roles, I also have enterprise-wide responsibility for Corporate and Regulatory Compliance, reporting to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Corporate Compliance includes Code of Conduct, Investigations, Anti-Bribery & Corruption, Enterprise Risk Assessment, the Alertline, Ethics, Reputational Risk, Conflict Minerals, Social Responsibility in Manufacturing, Product Governance, Data Privacy Governance, and Training. Regulatory Compliance includes Trade Compliance and Dodd-Frank, NERC Reliability, NERC-Critical Infrastructure Protection, Investigations, and EIA and EQR filings.
