Folsom embraces the idea of rebuilding shaky companies. Before this job, she battled compliance demons at the troubled American International Group, Inc., and weathered a scandal that cost her boss his job at the World Bank Group.
“I don’t shy away from trouble,” Folsom acknowledged in a recent interview with CorpCounsel.com. “My mother would prefer I work for a washing machine company or do something less controversial. But personally I find [compliance] interesting and challenging.”
