Russ Lemley has an exceptional track record of leadership across mutual funds and investment advisers.

Before founding Principle Compliance Consulting, he served in senior compliance roles at Capital Group, one of the largest and most respected investment management firms in the world. As chief compliance officer for the American Funds, Russ was responsible for overseeing fund compliance programs and service providers, giving boards confidence that policies were not only in place but truly effective.

Russ later led cross-functional initiatives as a senior compliance manager at Capital Research and Management Company, where he drove electronic communications monitoring, regulatory engagement and process innovation across legal and compliance teams.

Today, he leads Principle Compliance Consulting with the same philosophy that guided his corporate career: listen closely, think practically and build compliance into the fabric of the firm. Through outsourced CCO and CCO support services, risk assessments, compliance testing, annual reviews, SEC filings and more, he works as an embedded partner to support investment firms of all sizes.
