Background

About John Powers

I’ve spent over 25 years immersed in the evolving landscape of compliance management and risk assessment, building a career rooted in integrity, precision, and strategic thinking. My journey began at Comcast Cable as a Communications Technician, where I first learned the value of detail and accountability—principles that continue to guide my approach to internal audit, regulatory compliance, and business process improvement today. Currently, as a Senior Manager of Operational Compliance, I lead enterprise-wide initiatives that span multiple departments and impact thousands of employees. My work involves designing and executing robust internal controls, overseeing vendor management frameworks, and aligning compliance regulations with business objectives. I’ve led transformative auditing programs and driven cross-functional project management efforts that not only meet regulatory standards but also enhance operational agility and performance. One of my proudest achievements is developing a forward-thinking compliance strategy that aligned with our growth goals. This initiative strengthened our risk management posture and embedded a culture of accountability across the organization. By applying business analysis and leveraging data-driven insights, I’ve been able to identify key areas for improvement and implement sustainable change—work that continues to resonate across all levels of the business. Outside of my core responsibilities, I prioritize continuous learning and staying ahead of industry trends. I regularly engage in professional development through conferences and workshops focused on compliance regulations, auditing standards, and emerging technologies in risk and governance.
