Rethinking Compliance Across Asia with Barbara Tsai Compliance in Asia is no longer just about applying a Western-designed playbook to a different region with a completely different regulatory environment. It requires understanding how enforcement, politics, and business realities intersect in markets that expect global companies to follow local rules on local terms. In this episode our host Hanjo Seibert welcomes Barbara Tsai, a compliance leader at Microsoft, based in Asia with experience spanning public sector work, private practice as well as a major Swiss financial institution. Barbara's views are her personal views and do not represent official statements or views of Microsoft on this topic. As part of our Innovation series, Barbara and Hanjo look at what's changing in compliance across Asia and also touch on how AI can turn compliance into a true source of innovation. On BCG on Compliance , we dive deep into the extraordinary minds that are driving that change. From crime prevention gurus to ethics champions, we’ll ask provocative questions and bring you rich insights from the global players shaping the future of compliance, all in a dynamic and compact 20-minute episode.
