Welcome to a special series sponsored by Diligent, where we look down the road at key issues in 2024 and beyond. In this series, I will visit with Nicholas Latham, Renee Murphy, Jessica Czeczuga, Yee Chow, and Alexander Cotoia. Over this series, we will consider compliant communications in regulated industries, managing conflicts of interest at the Board level, the Board’s role in compliance training and communications, navigating the current ESG landscape, and professional growth and mentorship in compliance. In this concluding Part 5, we discuss professional development and mentorship for compliance professionals with Alexander Cotoia.

Alex Cotoia is with the Volkov Law Group and has transitioned from a traditional legal background into the compliance arena. He strongly believes in the importance of continuous professional development for compliance professionals, emphasizing the need for mentorship and growth opportunities, particularly for those in leadership positions. Alex’s perspective is shaped by the dynamic regulatory climate and the increasing extraterritorial impact of legislation and regulation, which underscore the urgency of continuous development in the compliance field. He also highlights the significance of acquiring soft skills, such as negotiation, building relationships, and strategic planning, in addition to the legal aspects of compliance. Alex values collaboration and believes that reaching out to other compliance professionals for guidance and mentorship can benefit professional growth.
