Senior Compliance Expertise. Practical Results.

Ben Mannes brings more than 25 years of experience in compliance, investigations, ethics and risk management to every engagement. He has served in senior compliance leadership roles across healthcare, life sciences and education—including as Divisional Compliance Head for Ecolab's multibillion-dollar, global Life Sciences Sector, Chief Compliance Officer for the $500M CBSG/PAR Funding Recievership Portfolio, and as Director, Office of Investigations overseeing assessment integrity, credentialing fraud, physician/program/fellowship conflict-of-interest governance with the life sciences, payer, & academic sectors, and HIPAA/privacy with the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM), during a tenure that saw the mass-adoption of Electronic Health Records (EHRs), changes to ADA/FERPA, the passage of the Affordable Care Act & Cures Act, and the surge of the opioid epidemic.

In these roles, Ben led compliance program development and oversight, managed complex internal investigations, built investigations functions from the ground up, and advised boards and executive leadership on compliance risk, governance and regulatory response. His work has spanned organizations operating under heightened regulatory scrutiny from the OIG, FDA and other federal and state regulators.

Before his corporate compliance career, Ben built an extensive background in law enforcement, security and investigations—experience that informs his practical, evidence-based approach to compliance and risk. He has served as a subject matter expert and commentator on compliance, investigations, public safety and ethics.
