Culture Is the Real Compliance Program with Shalini Rajoo
What if the compliance program you've been building isn't the real one?
The real one is your culture. And culture is set by whoever is leading.
In this episode, I sit down with Shalini Rajoo — global compliance attorney, former board-level ethics and compliance executive, and founder — for a direct conversation on why leadership is the most critical variable in any GRC program.
We cover: why compliance breakdowns trace back to leadership decisions, how to read an organization's integrity from the language leaders use, what courageous leadership looks like under pressure, and why Shalini flipped the Speak Up model into a Listen Up campaign — and aimed it directly at managers.
This one will make you look in the mirror.

Founder & Principal Consultant, Shalini Rajoo Advisory LLC
Shalini Rajoo works with senior leaders at pivotal moments of growth and transition, when strategy, governance, and transformation must move from intention to practice. Drawing on experience across legal, compliance, and organizational leadership roles, she focuses on the leadership systems that determine how work actually gets done.
She works at three levels: strengthening leaders’ judgment and self-leadership; examining how they lead teams in practice; and refining the decision-making patterns and operating rhythms that shape strategic outcomes. She works with leaders not only on how they think and act, but on how their decisions shape the systems around them.
