Compliance teams today are under increasing pressure to reduce risk and drive financial crime out of their institutions utilizing existing and, sometimes, limited resources. With more than 20 years of sales experience in the risk, compliance, and financial crime arena, Stroud has a deep understanding of the challenges facing the financial industry, and how to address their pain points.
“Aaron is joining QuantaVerse at a pivotal time as the industry begins deploying AI and machine learning to advance AML programs. He brings to this his professional network and proven sales track record in the financial crime compliance space,” explained David McLaughlin, CEO and Founder of QuantaVerse. “Aaron is a timely addition to our team who will support our aggressive growth strategy.”
Previous to joining QuantaVerse, Aaron led North American sales and strategy for RDC (Regulatory Datacorp) and continued his work with Moody’s/Bureau van Dijk after it acquired the company earlier this year. During his nine-year tenure there, Stroud substantially increased both the client roster and company revenue, trained the next generation of sales account executives, and developed strong relationships with hundreds of financial services providers, thought leaders, and software/service companies across the AML community.
