\"Jeffery<\/p>\n

The University of Rochester has named Jeffery D. Williams as its chief compliance executive for Academic and Central Administration, a newly created senior leadership position. Reporting to Executive Vice President Elizabeth Milavec, Jeff will oversee the operation of the University’s compliance program for academic and central administrative functions, working to ensure that the institution’s operations, programs, and activities align with applicable laws, regulations, and policies.<\/p>\n

He brings more than two decades of compliance and ethics leadership experience to the role, most recently serving as chief compliance officer at Zoetis Inc., a global research-based life sciences company. His prior experience includes senior compliance roles at the National Geographic Society, Danaher Corporation, and Pfizer Inc.<\/p>\n

A native of Buffalo, Jeff holds a Juris Doctor, cum laude, from SUNY at Buffalo Law School, and a Bachelor of Arts, cum laude, from St. John Fisher University.
\nThe new role complements the University’s existing compliance structure. The Medical Center\u2019s Office of Integrity and Compliance continues to oversee compliance for the Medical Center, and the Office of Research Compliance continues its work supporting the research enterprise. Jeff will coordinate closely with both offices, as well as the Office of Counsel and senior leadership across the University, to support a unified culture of compliance and ethical conduct.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
