Compliance professionals play a vital role in maintaining the integrity and transparency of the ETF industry. Now, that may sound a bit dry, but I assure you, throughout my career, compliance departments have been filled with some of the most dynamic and interesting professionals at the firm. Today, we are joined by Amy Shelton and Melanie Zimdars.

Amy Shelton is Senior Vice President and Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) for the American Century Funds, Advisor, Broker-Dealer and global operations. Amy is a member of key oversight committees including the Investment Oversight Committee and the Products & Markets Committee. Amy joined American Century Investments in 1994 and has served as CCO since 2014. In her free time, Amy enjoys cooking and hosting paella parties with her husband. 

Melanie Zimdars is Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) of Invesco Capital Management LLC. Prior to joining Invesco, Melanie served as Vice President and deputy Chief Compliance Officer at ALPS Holding, Inc. from 2009 to 2017.
