Steve Vincze has produced a gem of a book. Rather than looking at compliance as a burden, Steve sees it as a key to performance. Compliance officers and corporate leadership in general should read this book to understand how a compliance program can empower the entire company to do better.

“This is a lot more than just, what are the rules and how do we do them, it’s about how do we get the business to succeed in launching their products and bringing value to patients and being part of that fabric, and weaving into the commercial DNA, and creating a compliance culture.”
