No one in the compliance field seeks out pressure, scandals or crises, but these types of problems come with the job. In her career, Suzanne Rich Folsom has taken on these challenges head-on.
After serving tenures at global conglomerations including the World Bank, American International Group (AIG) and private security firm Academi (formerly Blackwater Worldwide), Folsom was recently named general counsel and senior vice president of governmental affairs at U.S. Steel. While the organizations she has worked for vary by industry and size, Folsom has a consistent record of ameliorating crises for companies in transition.
