After serving as a federal prosecutor, Peter Anderson carved out a successful career as an environmental and white-collar criminal defense attorney in Asheville, North Carolina. Then he gave it all up to move in-house.
Miami-based Carnival Corp. offered him a challenge he couldn't refuse: become its first chief ethics and compliance officer and fix the cruise line's compliance system that was so broken a federal judge once threatened to jail its top executives for repeatedly polluting the ocean.
"I've never been in-house before," Anderson told Corporate Counsel in a recent interview. "But they want me to build a best-in-class ethics and compliance program. That's what got me excited about leaving my law practice."
