Director, Compliance and Investigations
Tanya Hoke
I founded Belem Group in 2013 and have been a compliance professional and investigator for more than 15 years. I love the difficult work of digging up hidden information, untangling fraud schemes, and bringing nuance, context, and clarity to ambiguous situations. The thrill of finding the facts that others haven’t simply doesn’t get old. I have led compliance engagements across industries and geographies, from the US to China and from tech to pharmaceuticals.
I have extensive experience leading investigations for clients in connection with investments and litigation. In 2016, I established Galen Diligence, one of the first practices in the US focused on compliance investigations in the legal cannabis industry. Prior to founding Belem Group, I was a Senior Consultant in Corporate Investigations at Control Risks Group.
Away from my desk, you’ll find me mucking around with watercolors, skiing, and spending time with my husband and daughter in the mountains of Colorado.
