Great Women in Compliance is an interview-driven business podcast focused on the people and judgment behind ethics, compliance, investigations, and governance. Its strongest episodes are practical without sounding procedural. A guest’s career story is usually the entry point, but the conversation quickly moves into the conditions that shape ethical work. That might mean a woman over 50 explaining confidence, visibility, and leading through relationships rather than title. It might mean fraud specialists discussing pink collar crime, rationalization, workplace trust, and the danger of underestimating someone because they seem ordinary. The show is especially interested in how compliance feels in organizations, where policies meet workload, incentives, culture, hierarchy, and fear. It gives space to professional accomplishment, but it also asks about humility, imposter syndrome, resilience, and the cost of staying principled. The register is collegial and direct. Guests are treated as peers with hard-earned experience. Conference episodes broaden the frame, bringing in ethical leadership, AI literacy, employee engagement, and the value of comparing notes with compliance peers. Leadership conversations often circle back to systems: hotline allegations, investigations, remediation, accountability, and the workflows that make lessons useful. AI is handled through the lens of decision quality, not novelty. The show’s discussion of decision rubrics treats transparency, weighting, and dissent as core tools for trust. Personal episodes add another dimension. A conversation about working while facing stage four cancer becomes a candid look at calendars, boundaries, delegation, wellness appointments, and the reality of still wanting to do meaningful work. Culture-change episodes emphasize movements over mandates, human-centered organizations, and the difference between structural fixes and cultural adoption. Across topics, the show keeps returning to the same underlying question: what helps people do the right thing when pressure is real? It is built for ethics and compliance professionals, especially those who want examples they can recognize from their own organizations. It is also useful for leaders trying to understand why compliance depends on relationships, clarity, courage, and credible systems.
Made for: For compliance, ethics, risk, and governance professionals who want grounded conversations with women working through organizational pressure. It also suits leaders interested in culture, investigations, AI accountability, and practical decision-making.
What sets it apart: The show blends professional substance with candid career reflection, so compliance is treated as both a technical discipline and a human practice. Its women-centered lens gives space to mentorship, resilience, confidence, and leadership without losing operational detail.
For a long time, compliance was perceived as a part of the larger legal world. Today, compliance is its own profession—a place where people work tirelessly to make the world a better place, one where doing the right thing is the standard for everyone. There are a lot of amazing and inspirational women who have helped the compliance field develop into what it is today, and women are joining this field every day. They are leading the work on cutting-edge issues and breaking barriers for women. Join Hemma Lomax and Lisa Fine as they talk with women in compliance who are making a difference. This podcast is part of the Compliance Podcast Network.
Ethical leadership meets the calendar, the hotline, and the uncomfortable decision nobody remembered to name.
