Jessica Hayden on Sliding Doors

Great Women in Compliance

Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast. Today Hemma Lomax visits with Jessica Hayden, a graduate of Georgetown University Law Center and held senior compliance roles at 21st Century Fox, Disney, and Comcast Corporation. This past year she took a step back from corporate life to work on refugee assistance, writing, and moving her family (once again) overseas. Jessica is a seasoned compliance professional with a diverse background in global ethics and international living experiences, having honed her skills in the compliance function through a career in law, including expertise in litigation and the FCPA world.

Her perspective on her global ethics career and international living experiences is one of adaptability and seizing opportunities. She has navigated her career alongside her husband's Foreign Service career, finding unique opportunities in each country they have lived in, such as working on freedom of speech and freelance journalism in Azerbaijan. Hayden sees her international experiences open doors and explore different areas of law. She also recognizes the challenges and hardships that come with living in different countries, such as the evacuation from Ukraine and has used these experiences to gain perspective and find her purpose in helping others through pro bono immigration cases. Join Hemma Lomax and Jessica Hayden on this episode of the Great Women in Compliance podcast to learn more about her fascinating journey.
