Mr. Anderson is a former federal prosecutor with over 20 years of experience in corporate compliance. 听He served with the U.S. Department of Justice Environmental Crimes Division and later, was the head of the听White Collar and Compliance Group听at Beveridge & Diamond, PC.听 Mr. Anderson was initially engaged by听Carnival to conduct a compliance program assessment, and was later appointed CECO.听 Immediately prior to his engagement with Carnival, Anderson led the environmental compliance team on the听Volkswagen听monitorship.
