Becki LaPorte joins the company as Principal for AML Strategy and Innovation, while Christopher Ostrowski becomes Product Management Leader.

“She will collaborate closely with FinScan’s product, marketing, and client-facing teams,” the company said. It added that she will “deepen thought leadership, inform product direction, and foster innovation in areas such as sanctions screening, perpetual KYC, model validation, and AI-driven compliance”.

“His extensive background in both regulatory compliance and fintech innovation positions him to advance FinScan’s product roadmap,” the company said.
It added that this will help ensure clients “benefit from technology that remains both operationally efficient and aligned with evolving regulatory expectations”.
“Becki and Chris bring a combination of visionary leadership, hands-on compliance expertise, and product innovation experience,” said Deborah Overdeput, Chief Operating Officer at Innovative Systems.
