Catherine Turner, IT Governance and Admin, Hussmann Corporation
I am a courageous and curious governance, risk, and compliance leader with over 15 years of experience ranging among publicly traded, privately held, and highly regulated industries. My passion for ERM was solidified when I led an Internal Audit department during a FDA consent decree and DOJ investigation at a pharmaceutical company that ultimately recalled all of its products and had significant changes to executive leadership. In this role, I supported the independent Board of Directors through multiple special investigations. Through this challenging experience, I witnessed the significance of the U.S. Federal Sentencing Guidelines and the necessity of maintaining robust corporate governance and compliance.
