After a prolific tenure, Alicyn Cooley will soon be stepping down as PCCE’s Executive Director to begin an exciting new chapter in the private sector. Alicyn’s contributions to PCCE have been extraordinary. Her accomplishments include conferences on The Next Wave of Corporate Enforcement under the Biden Administration; Compliance, Culture, and ESG: How Companies Achieve Meaningful Change and Meet Evolving Regulatory and Stakeholder Expectations; Confronting Cybersecurity and Data Privacy Challenges in Times of Unprecedented Change; and The Advancement of Digital Assets and Addressing Financial Crime Risk, as well as the launch of PCCE’s Directors’ Academy, an annual program providing directors with expert guidance on subjects including corporate governance, enforcement, compliance, cybersecurity and data privacy, directors’ oversight duties, board diversity and composition, ESG, and shareholder activism. In addition to bringing her expertise in white-collar and corporate enforcement to the Program, Alicyn amplified PCCE’s prominence in the fields of cryptocurrency, cybersecurity and ESG. As editor of PCCE’s blog, Compliance & Enforcement, Alicyn spearheaded an ongoing initiative to publish scholarship on what corporate officers, corporate boards, and enforcement and regulatory authorities can do to detect and root out racism and discrimination (including in their own ranks). Please join us in celebrating Alicyn’s groundbreaking and lasting work as PCCE’s Executive Director.
In light of Alicyn’s imminent departure, PCCE is seeking a new Executive Director. We are looking for candidates with enforcement experience, including those who are transitioning out of the government and into private practice. While we would prefer a candidate who is interested in working with us long-term, we are willing to accommodate short-term arrangements as well. The candidate should be able to start no later than February 22, 2022, but preferably sooner.
