Legal, Risk & Compliance
Compliance Leaders for a Regulated World
In this complex and continually evolving global corporate and political environment, businesses are experiencing increased scrutiny and regulation around governance matters. Over the years we’ve seen a flurry of disasters encompassing legal, risk and compliance – underlining the need for robust leadership across each of these functions.
At the same time, the qualities needed for successful leadership in these areas are evolving at pace. No longer just the people telling senior executives why something is against the rules, these governance leaders require a firm grasp of technical aspects, they need to be pragmatic and commercially minded and they need to take an active role in driving strategy and growth.
While risk management has evolved fastest and furthest in financial services, the significance of these roles is also growing rapidly in other industries – a trend that is at its clearest in regulated sectors like utilities, telecoms and pharma.
The growing emphasis on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) further amplifies the need for sophisticated governance leadership, with regulations spanning from financial conduct rules to environmental legislation.
With this comes huge potential for cross-fertilisation of governance talent across sectors.
