What does it take to build a global compliance function that can scale across more than 10 licenses, multiple jurisdictions, and fast-moving products?

In this episode of Solidus Labs’ Compliance Champions, Delphine Forma speaks with Joanna Frendo, Chief Risk Compliance Officer and Head of Compliance at Deriv, about building and leading compliance at scale over more than two decades.

They discuss:

• how Deriv built a regulatory strategy across multiple jurisdictions

• what it means to standardize the “what” and localize the “how” in compliance

• how Joanna approaches conflicting regulatory expectations across entities

• why onboarding, suitability, and customer protection must be designed holistically

• how Deriv uses AI and automation to stay current with changing rules

• what makes market abuse surveillance more complex in a multi-asset, multi-platform derivatives business

A practical and thoughtful conversation on compliance leadership, governance, and building resilient systems in global fintech.
