A day in the life of a Director of Ethics and Compliance in the United Kingdom
My career history
Started as a research chemist.
Moved into full scale plant operations, including managing shift teams.
Followed by Financial Controller for a business.
Lastly in the Ethics and Compliance function.
Courses taken since graduation
MBA through the Open University.
Many company training courses. The most impactful were about influencing skills.
What surprised me about my career so far
That careers are a combination of chance and planning. You should be comfortable with a level of uncertainty and be on the lookout for opportunities that match your goals and skills rather than always chasing a specific job title.
Where I hope to be in 5 years
Probably working for the fun of it in the voluntary sector or if the opportunity arises, setting up an E&C department in an medium sized company.
What I do
