In this conversation, Dean Elwood, CEO of Umony, speaks with Dr. Hemma Lomax, Deputy General Counsel, Vice President, and Global Head of Ethics and Compliance at DocuSign, about how purpose, empathy, and neuroscience can transform corporate culture.

A former SEC prosecutor and criminal barrister, Hemma shares her journey from enforcing rules to redefining how organizations build trust, integrity, and responsible growth.

Together, they discuss leadership, culture, and “the Office of Unlock” — Hemma’s approach to turning compliance from a function of control into a driver of ethical decision-making and innovation.

The discussion also explores how regulation, human behavior, and data governance are evolving in the age of AI, and what this means for the future of ethics and compliance in business.
