In this episode of FIBA on Risk and Compliance Excellence (The F.O.R.C.E.), David Schwartz, President & CEO of FIBA, leads a timely conversation on how compliance professionals can prepare for the demands of a rapidly evolving industry. As artificial intelligence, regulatory change, and business transformation continue to reshape financial services, the discussion explores the skills professionals need now to remain relevant and effective by 2030. Joining the episode are Janiell Gonzalez, Associate at Greenberg Traurig and Chair of FIBA’s NextGen Committee, and Michael Laffont, Manager of Risk Advisory Services at Kaufman Rossin and Chair of FIBA’s NextGen Advisory Board. Together, they share practical perspectives on the importance of adaptability, regulatory fluency, communication, technical literacy, and the responsible use of AI. The conversation highlights that while AI can enhance efficiency and support decision-making, it is not a substitute for judgment, subject-matter knowledge, or human oversight. The guests also stress the value of continuous learning, networking, and developing the confidence to communicate risk clearly to senior management, boards, and regulators. Key Topics Include: Why the compliance professional of the future must start building new skills today How adaptability and cross-functional experience strengthen long-term career growth The growing role of AI in compliance, legal, and advisory work Why “trust but verify” is essential when using AI tools The importance of understanding regulations, technology, and business operations together Why communication and executive presence are critical for career advancement How continuing education, peer learning, and curiosity help professionals stay ahead Advice young professionals can apply now to prepare for 2030 and beyond
