FinScan, a provider of advanced anti-money laundering (AML) compliance solutions, has announced two additions to its product management and strategy team.
Becki LaPorte joins as principal, AML strategy and innovation, and Christopher Ostrowski joins as product management leader.
Together, they bring decades of expertise in financial crime prevention, regulatory compliance, and technology innovation.
In her new role, LaPorte will drive FinScan’s AML strategy and innovation agenda, helping strengthen the company.
She will collaborate closely with FinScan’s product, marketing, and client-facing teams to deepen thought leadership and inform product direction in areas such as sanctions screening, perpetual Know Your Customer (KYC), model validation, and AI-driven compliance.
Prior to joining FinScan, she served as strategic advisor for fraud and AML at Datos Insights, where she provided research and advisory services to leading financial institutions and technology providers.
She also founded Exodus Partners Group, which advises fintechs, financial institutions, law enforcement, and regulators on AML and fraud strategies.
Her earlier career includes leadership roles as chief AML officer at Advisor Group, director of global risk and compliance at CSI, and associate director at FINRA, where she developed and delivered compliance training for examiners and investigators.
Ostrowski joins FinScan’s product management team as product management leader, bringing more than 17 years of experience in banking, product management, and compliance technology.
The firm says that his extensive background in both regulatory compliance and fintech innovation positions him to advance FinScan’s product roadmap, ensuring clients benefit from technology that remains both operationally efficient and aligned with evolving regulatory expectations.
Most recently, he served as chief operating officer and head of product at FinClusive, where he led product strategy, development, and operations for the company’s compliance-as-a-service platform.
Prior to FinClusive, he held multiple leadership roles at Wells Fargo, including business risk and control manager and lead business execution consultant, where he oversaw operational risk and AML programme management initiatives.
Deborah Overdeput, chief operating officer at Innovative Systems, says: “Becki and Chris bring a combination of visionary leadership, hands-on compliance expertise, and product innovation experience that directly aligns with FinScan’s mission.
“Their leadership will help us continue delivering solutions that meet today’s risk and regulatory demands while anticipating the needs of tomorrow’s financial institutions and other organisations. We’re thrilled to welcome them to the team.”
