Background

About Anna Nikonova

Accomplished Legal & Compliance professional with 15+ years of experience supporting publicly traded, multinational organizations in the tech and transportation industries. Currently leading compliance efforts across Germany and Eastern Europe, with active involvement in global strategic initiatives that shape ethical business practices worldwide. I bring deep expertise in managing the end-to-end compliance lifecycle - from program design, risk assessment and policy development to training, monitoring, investigation and remediation. I have a proven track record of advising business leaders on effective risk management and implementing best-in-class compliance programs. My core focus areas include anti-bribery (FCPA, UK Bribery Act), antitrust, export controls, sanctions, third-party risk and due diligence, and regulatory compliance. I also provide strategic support on M&A due diligence and post-acquisition compliance integration. A legally qualified professional with an LLM in Intellectual Property Law, I have a solid grounding in corporate, commercial, labor, and data privacy law. I am dedicated to fostering a culture of ethics and compliance. I see compliance not as a barrier, but as a strategic enabler of sustainable business success. Known by my practical, business-oriented approach, I’m a trusted, approachable partner across the business.
