The Expert Interview Series is a segment of the COMPLY Podcast where we shine a spotlight on the industry leaders who are truly making a difference in the marketing compliance landscape. These boots-on-the-ground professionals work tirelessly to protect consumers while navigating the complex regulatory environment.

We’ll chat with these compliance experts as they share their real-world experiences, expertise, and practical insights. By hearing from those who are actively engaged in compliance, you’ll gain valuable perspectives and actionable strategies to apply in your own work.

In this episode, I sat down with Andrew Grant, Partner at Runway LLP, where we talked about his extensive experience in financial services law and how companies can operationalize compliance effectively. We explored Andrew’s unique insights from his 15-year career, particularly in the evolving fintech landscape and its regulatory challenges.

Discussion topics include:

• How compliance teams can shift from being seen as “the team that says no” to being problem solvers who help businesses succeed
• Why strong compliance programs can help companies stand out and win partnerships with banks and other financial players
• The importance of gaining compliance buy-in from leadership and other departments (and tips on how to get it)
• Predictions for 2025 amidst a new administration, including steady enforcement from the CFPB, a decrease in new federal regulations, and increased state-level activity to address gaps in financial oversight
