About Michelle Fowler

As a seasoned Compliance Executive with over 15 years of experience in the financial services and insurance industries, I specialize in building and leading high-impact compliance programs that drive operational integrity and audit readiness. My expertise spans regulatory frameworks including HIPAA, CMS, IRS, DOL, and SOC 1 Type II, and I’m passionate about aligning compliance strategy with business growth. In my most recent role managing the Compliance Office at Ascensus LLC, I’ve overseen compliance for HSA, FSA, HRA, and COBRA administration, ensuring processes not only meet regulatory standards but also support organizational effectiveness and client trust. I’ve successfully led post-acquisition integrations, strengthened third-party risk oversight, and cultivated teams that exceed audit expectations. Beyond my corporate leadership, I serve on the Board of Directors for Members Trust Federal Credit Union, where I provide strategic governance and support financial integrity for member services. Known for my collaborative leadership, strategic foresight, and ability to translate complex regulations into actionable, scalable solutions—I bring a steady hand and a forward-thinking mindset to every compliance challenge.
