Christina Marshall on Global Compliance Leadership

Great Women in Compliance

Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast. In this episode, we visit Christina Marshall, an experienced ethics and compliance leader with extensive experience working with US and foreign regulators. Her expertise is in fraud and corruption investigations, risk assessments, and operationalizing compliance in complex global organizations. She currently leads the Oracle EMEA Compliance team, which is responsible for driving compliance through Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. She is a US-trained litigator with a Juris Doctor from Fordham University School of Law.

Christina has worked in private practice as well as as a senior counsel within the Division of Enforcement at the Securities Exchange Commission, which is responsible for investigating violations of the FCPA. Her extensive experience also includes teaching as a professor of Securities Regulation, White Collar Crime, Corporations and American Law. Based on her extensive experience, Christina is highly skilled in investigating procurement fraud, money laundering, and corruption, leading risk assessments, and creating preventative compliance practices.

Christina’s perspective on compliance best practices is that it should function as a partnership with the business, focusing significantly on transparency and support for business leaders, rather than acting as the ‘police’. Her knowledge in this area has been shaped by her prior experience at the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s Division of Enforcement and her extensive engagement with regulators worldwide. Additionally, her time spent teaching law in Russia has enriched her global perspective. She emphasizes the necessity of involving business partners in risk mitigation, with an emphasis on fostering trust and respect, particularly during challenging investigations.
