PRINCIPAL
Bill Huron
Bill has over 20 years of professional compliance experience, serving as an external consultant and an in-house chief compliance officer. His work has centered on the development and management of compliance programs to assist organizations in balancing business objectives with regulatory requirements. He is experienced in helping organizations facilitate the cultural and operational changes necessary to remain responsive to evolving compliance requirements and government litigation. His degree in business statistics and quantitative analysis has helped Bill form an intrinsic respect for the application of data analysis and statistics in the development of effective and efficient audit and monitoring functions.
A graduate degree in health policy and management helped Bill form a greater appreciation of the complex challenges and pressures leaders face and has helped many senior leadership teams navigate divergent and conflicting interests to achieve an accurate perception of risk and to develop the necessary strategies to address risk and achieve success under regulatory scrutiny.
He believes a compliance function should never employ a “cop” or “gotcha” mentality, and that this is best avoided in a culture where compliance is perceived operational asset and partnership, at the strategy table to ask, “Have you thought about X?”
