As your CCO I will provide practical, transparent and cost-effective compliance solutions. I take compliance off your plate of day-to-day tasks so you can focus on business and growth.
I have the insight and skill to navigate the wide spectrum of challenges that affect both emerging growth and established businesses. I have deep, legal expertise in regulated fields such as the life sciences, healthcare, medical devices, energy and natural resources. My years of experience working side-by-side with senior executives in these industries enable me to offer insights and open doors that ordinary outside counsel do not know exist. In addition, my experience managing compliance teams at established Fortune 25 corporations and high growth manufacturers brings a healthy dose of practicality to the advice I provide.
As an outside CCO, my goal is to become a trusted partner for the executive and management teams in your business. By working personally with your team on a regular basis and integrating with your company workflows and processes, I can provide real-time legal and compliance advice that is proactive rather than reactive. This inside knowledge of your company’s vision, goals, plans, and culture will help guide internal advice to the executive and management teams, and external negotiation with your partners, customers, and vendors.
With a fractional CCO model, you have the option to pay a flat monthly fee, which allows you to budget and forecast expense, while avoiding the overhead cost of a full-time in-house compliance officer or extremely costly outside counsel with unpredictable hourly billings. I understand cost is a key concern, especially for small businesses and for startup businesses that have yet to establish a predictable revenue stream. I collaborate with clients to customize fee arrangements that work within your constraints.
C&R fractional CCO services are comprehensive, with a focus on problem solving, long-term relationships, and growth. From the onset, C&R will review your company’s current compliance program (if any) and conduct a risk assessment. C&R will meet with the management team to understand the company’s strengths, areas for improvement, strategy, and risk tolerance. C&R will work with you to develop an overall compliance plan to capitalize on growth opportunities while mitigating risk. As compliance issues arise, C&R will recommend cost-effective timely solutions consistent with the company’s strategy and direction.
In the event your business is faced with a compliance problem that C&R cannot handle directly, C&R will recommend like-minded, business focused professionals who can provide appropriate services and advice to resolve the problem and C&R will manage all work performed for your company by other professionals to minimize costs and maximize performance.
