Background

About Bibi Schwartz

I am a legally qualified senior Ethics and Compliance leader with two decades of experience designing and leading compliance, governance, and risk programmes across highly regulated and complex international environments. My career spans financial services, technology, and telecommunications, where I have worked closely with executives and boards to strengthen integrity, mitigate risk, and enable responsible business growth. My expertise covers third-party risk management, anti-bribery and corruption (FCPA, UK Bribery Act), anti-money laundering, and compliance monitoring. I bring first-hand experience of operating under a U.S. Department of Justice Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) and working with an independent compliance monitor, providing me with deep insight into regulatory expectations and practical remediation. I am known for translating complex legal and regulatory frameworks into pragmatic, business-focused solutions. Whether leading global compliance programmes, conducting risk assessments, developing governance frameworks, or delivering training, I focus on embedding cultures of ethics and accountability that drive both compliance and performance. Passionate about innovation, I leverage digital tools, data analytics, and AI to improve risk detection, accelerate due diligence, and enhance transparency. I am equally committed to mentoring teams and engaging stakeholders, helping organisations adapt to change and build sustainable compliance practices. Above all, I see compliance as more than regulation; it is a catalyst for trust, resilience, and long-term success.
