Careers Combatting Corruption

Andrew and Sydney are joined by Dean Jessica Tillipman from The George Washington University Law School to explore various career paths under the expansive umbrella of government ethics, procurement, contracting and anti-corruption. Last year, Dean Tillipman testified before the House Committee on Oversight and Reform on conflicts of interest in a large corporation’s work for the FDA and opioid companies. She frequently organizes and presents at domestic and international government procurement and anti-corruption conferences and colloquia, and her legal commentary has been featured in numerous domestic and international media outlets.
