"ComplyAdvantage has a compelling vision and a culture of innovation that is inspiring. I cannot wait to work alongside the outstanding talent we have in our organization. There are very few applications where machine learning is used to solve societal problems of this scale and I'm humbled to be part of the solution," Orme commented.
Further strengthening the investment in top talent, is the appointment of Anna Keren as VP of Technology. Former Babylon Health and Funding Circle UK Engineering lead, Keren brings a deep understanding of software engineering and will be responsible for scaling and evolving the suite of products to drive improved user experiences.

"We continue to accelerate the development of our industry-leading data and suite of products to serve the world's largest institutions with diverse clients and complex risk exposure. As highlighted by the recently leaked FinCEN Files, money laundering continues to be a major problem worldwide," said Charles Delingpole, Founder and CEO of ComplyAdvantage.
