Podcast: CCO Courtney Reid is optimistic about the state of compliance in 2025

US Content Manager Julie DiMauro spoke to Courtney Reid, CCO at MassMutual’s retail broker-dealer, about her outlook on the compliance role.

We talked about:

  • how to stay connected to the developments to track regulatory change effectively;
  • the importance of being ready to pivot and being agile enough to work under a new administration’s regulatory regime;
  • her work on FINRA’s Continuing Education Council, which provides advice and guidance to FINRA and the other SROs;
  • taking really dry, boring training and applying it to a real-life scenario to see how the rule applies to particular fact scenarios;
  • ensuring the board of directors and senior executives really have an idea of relevant risks at a high level; and
  • why she believes there is a lot of wonderful opportunity in the practice of compliance, now and in the near future.
