Award-winning Diane De Saint Victor has recently been recognised for her renowned legal work by the Directors Roundtable. Diane is highly respected for leading large-scale changes in the field of compliance and integrity. ‘What I am most proud of is to see my team of legal colleagues growing and serving our business with an incredible level of maturity and leadership’. Another highlight of her career was being a changing change agent in ABB, and driving the company from entering into a deferred prosecution agreement in the aftermath of various corruption issues. She has also contributed towards driving the company to being recognised as one of the most ethical companies in the world by the Ethisphere Institute in 2013, 2014 and 2015. Diane says that what makes her feel really good are the ‘various situations where I have been able to anticipate and resolve matters without my internal clients seeing it or being aware of it, thus taking the hassle away for my clients and being ahead of the curve from a risk standpoint’.
