Overseeing the global compliance efforts for a 170,000-employee company with operations in 75 countries during a pandemic takes a significant amount of work. Matt Galvin, Anheuser-Busch InBev’s global vice president of ethics and compliance, has taken an analytical approach to foresee compliance issues.

With the creation of BrewRight four years ago, Galvin said he uses algorithms and machine learning to see how likely it is that a vendor, for example, will come in contact with a government agency. It is also used to track money laundering and corruption.
