    ATI In-House Insights: Cultivating a Speak Up Culture: Whistleblower Management Insights with Maria Buccieri and Ashley Smith
    Apr 15 2026
    Welcome to the Hughes Hubbard Anti-Corruption & Internal Investigations Practice Group’s podcast, All Things Investigation. This is a special series featuring sights from in-house practitioners, hosted by Mike DeBernardis. In this podcast, Mike visits with Maria Buccieri and Ashley Smith, Deputy General Counsel at Amtrak, about Encouraging and Managing Whistleblowers. Ashley and Maria, both compliance and legal leaders from Amtrak, discuss how to encourage and manage whistleblowers as a core element of an effective compliance program, emphasizing that a lack of reports does not indicate a healthy organization. They describe a “speak-up” culture as one where employees feel heard, senior leaders model speaking up, and reporting is accessible across a diverse workforce through multiple channels (phone, email, QR codes, mobile tools, in-person availability) and languages. Key barriers include fear of retaliation (often through subtle workplace ostracism), disappointment when nothing happens, and loss of anonymity. They outline best practices for handling reports consistently with other serious complaints, preserving confidentiality “as much as possible,” training mid-level managers and investigators, and maintaining communication with reporters during lengthy investigations. They also caution against dismissing “serial reporters,” recommending contextual analysis and internal process checks.

    ATI In-House Insights: Navigating Internal Investigations: A Conversation with Mike Gill
    Apr 2 2026
    Welcome to the Hughes Hubbard Anti-Corruption & Internal Investigations Practice Group’s podcast, All Things Investigation. This is a special series featuring sights from in-house practitioners, hosted by Mike DeBernardis. In this podcast, Mike D visits with Mike Gill, Assistant GC and Director of Investigations at HII, on conducting internal investigations from an in-house perspective in a defense shipbuilding environment. Gill says the first concern when allegations arise is immediate safety risk to employees and the integrity of work affecting Navy and other military customers, followed by designing an investigation that will be viewed as timely, accurate, and credible. He emphasizes scoping, planning, selecting the right team (including technical experts and, sometimes, outside counsel), and establishing disciplined communication and reporting lines to management and customers while protecting privilege. Gill highlights building employee trust through fair processes, enforcement of anti-retaliation policies, and appropriate follow-up, and notes common mistakes: jumping to conclusions, failing to bound scope, and inadequate planning.

    ATI In-House Insights: Challenges and Tips for Navigating a Changing Risk Landscape with Sarah Iles
    Mar 18 2026
    In this episode of the ATI: InHouse Insights Podcast, Mike DeBernardis speaks with seasoned in-house compliance leader Sarah Isles about navigating an ever-changing risk landscape shaped by political, geopolitical, regulatory, and technological shifts. Sarah shares her background across manufacturing sectors and discusses how multinational compliance risks evolve as jurisdictional priorities shift, including sanctions, export controls, tariffs, sustainability, labor rights, data protection, and AI. They identify internal challenges, including a lack of infrastructure to address new risks, siloed ownership, and weak change management, and emphasize clear governance and accountability. Sarah advises “back to basics,” using DOJ’s Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs, focusing on real risk mitigation over form-heavy questionnaires, keeping communication channels open through formal committees and informal connections, scaling risk assessments appropriately, targeting communications to relevant audiences, escalating thoughtfully, and building resilient programs by expecting and embracing constant change. Key highlights: Geopolitics Drives Risk Internal Adaptation Hurdles Silos and Ownership Culture and Change Proactive Compliance Basics Partnering With Business Right-Sized Risk Assessments Communicating Emerging Risks Resources: Sarah Iles LinkedIn Mike DeBernardis LinkedIn ATI: In-House Insights Podcast Hughes Hubbard & Reed Website
