Compliance professionals’ seniority within a company, their contact with top decision-makers and their access to necessary information are critical to success in their roles, as is the ability to influence the culture more broadly within an organization. During a panel hosted by the Practising Law Institute, entitled “Empowering Gatekeepers to Enhance Compliance Practices,” McDermott Will & Emery partner Anne Elkins Murray; Miller & Chevalier counsel Richard Gallena; and Booking Holdings vice president Sonia Rye discussed how empowering gatekeepers such as CCOs can enhance compliance. The panel was moderated by Robert Stern, partner at Weil, Gotshal & Manges. This article distills some of the insights shared by the panelists.
