Client Spotlight


Each summer, Toronto-based Manulife Investment Management sends 40 executives to Boston from across its global centers for four days of intensive learning about compliance, risk, audit, legal, and other topics.

Suffolk works closely with clients like Manulife to understand their priorities and provide them with a robust and bespoke curriculum that's relevant for their executives.

“Recognizing that technical knowledge is not enough to become a successful compliance professional, we engaged Suffolk to assist us in customizing a curriculum aimed at enhancing certain leadership and business skills. This curriculum was designed to enable participants to apply these skills to real-life challenges faced by compliance officers.

The program comprised a blend of lectures, business case analyses, simulations, and role-playing exercises against customized business scenarios. This unique approach resonated with the participants and brought theory to life in a way that other programs do not achieve.”
