AML RightSource has appointed industry veteran Lalit Sharma as the company’s Chief Financial Officer, effective immediately.
He will report directly to CEO Steve Meirink.
Sharma brings nearly 30 years of experience in financial and strategic leadership. He has held senior roles at Collabera, NTT DATA, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and most recently served as CFO at Ascendion. His background spans corporate finance, financial planning and analysis, human capital, and operations.
“Lalit’s appointment marks an important milestone in AML RightSource’s journey and represents a significant step forward in our continued growth and expansion,” Meirink said. “We are fortunate to have a highly capable finance and accounting team already in place, and I am confident that under Lalit’s leadership, the team will grow its impact on our future success.”
Meirink added that Sharma will play a key role in advancing the company’s Expert Solutions strategy.
Lalit Sharma succeeds Todd Ayers
Sharma said he was “thrilled” to be joining at a critical point in the company’s development. “The mission and purpose of AML RightSource in promoting trust and transparency resonates with me deeply,” he said. “I look forward to partnering with the leadership team to drive a financial strategy that supports innovation, global impact, and long-term value creation.”
He succeeds Todd Ayers, who retired earlier this year after seven years at the firm and a career of more than three decades.
Sharma’s expertise in enterprise transformation, financial oversight, and risk management comes as the company continues to expand.
AML RightSource, headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, provides anti-financial crime and third-party risk management solutions. Its team of over 6,500 professionals supports services such as fraud prevention, transaction monitoring and reporting (TMAR), know-your-customer (KYC) processes, enhanced due diligence, and advisory services. The firm combines trained subject matter experts with advanced technology to help financial institutions combat financial crime.
