Alexander J.
Cotoia, MA, CCEP®
By way of background, I have over 15 years of experience in the legal and compliance profession, having previously worked for Richard Branson’s suborbital space tourism company, Virgin Galactic (NYSE: SPCE) for almost five years. In that capacity, I assisted our GC in adopting new compliance policies, procedures and protocols related to sanctions screening, third party risk management, financial controls, etc. In addition, I served as a primary point of contact in the organization for very complex trade compliance issues stemming from both the ITAR and EAR. I currently have the immense privilege of serving as the firm’s regulatory compliance manager, handling a variety of matters for our clients, as well as cultivating external business partnerships. Training is an area I enjoy immensely, and I will aim to keep it as interesting, relevant, and engaging as possible.
