The Ultimate Product Compliance Playbook

Webinar Overview

Product compliance isn’t getting easier. Yet some organizations respond to regulatory change faster, bring compliance into decisions earlier, and spend far less time reacting to problems after they occur. What are they doing differently?

The companies that avoid this have not found a simpler regulatory environment. They operate differently, in five specific and repeatable ways.

Drawing on Adherent’s nearly 25 years of working with leading product manufacturers, we’ve identified these five practices that consistently show up in high-performing compliance organizations – captured in our Ultimate Product Compliance Playbook.

In this expert-led webinar, we’ll unpack those practices and bring them to life with real-world experiences from Adherent’s Customer Success team working directly with global product compliance organizations.

Webinar Agenda

• Where Compliance Operations Break Down – and why 69% of leaders identify remediation as one of their hardest challenges.
• Why Product Compliance Has Become an Operations Problem – where traditional approaches break down and why teams remain stuck in reactive mode.

Kerri Whelan, Senior Product Marketing Manager, Adherent

Kerri is a Senior Product Marketing Manager at Adherent, serving as the strategic bridge between customer reality and product development. She goes beyond defining what a product does to deeply understand why it matters, uncovering real customer challenges and advocating for them inside the organization.

With more than two decades in technology including experience from the early days of video conferencing at Polycom and Logitech, and more recently in the EV charging space, her focus is consistent: when a product reaches customers, its value isn’t a marketing promise, but an unmistakable solution to a real problem.
