Crystal Jezierski recently left Walmart Inc. as head of its global ethics program, spanning 26 countries and 2.2 million associates. Jezierski joined Walmart in 2018—highly recruited from Baker McKenzie’s Washington, D.C., office. At Baker McKenzie, she was a partner in the firm’s D.C. office, where she specialized in white-collar investigations and corporate compliance. She is a recognized leader in program design and governance issues. Recently, Jezierski spoke at Stanford for its Rock Center for Corporate Governance’s online series (with former LinkedIn GC and Stanford professor Mike Callahan, and LinkedIn’s current head of compliance and integrity, Amyn Thawer).

I caught up with Jezierski to ask her about how to run an ethics program remotely.
