Background

About Heather Pepe

I’m a results-driven Risk and Compliance Leader with 15+ years of experience designing and implementing enterprise-level risk mitigation, regulatory compliance, and quality improvement strategies. With a background in healthcare and prior experience in clinical and hospital settings, I bring a unique ability to navigate complex regulatory environments, lead cross-functional teams, and drive operational resilience. Throughout my career, I’ve developed and led organization-wide safety programs, managed external audits, built incident response protocols, and fostered a culture of continuous improvement. I specialize in translating policy into practice—building systems that not only meet regulatory standards but also improve organizational performance and reduce liability.
