FinScan, an Innovative Systems solution and leading provider of advanced anti-money laundering (AML) compliance technology, has announced the appointment of Becki LaPorte as principal of AML strategy and innovation, and Christopher Ostrowski as product management leader. The two industry veterans join the firm to strengthen its global product and innovation strategy as FinScan continues to enhance its capabilities in financial crime prevention.

FinScan delivers AML and compliance screening technology designed to help financial institutions detect, manage, and prevent financial crime with precision and confidence. The company’s solutions are used by organisations worldwide to meet evolving regulatory requirements, enhance due diligence, and maintain operational efficiency through automation and advanced analytics.

In her new role, LaPorte will drive FinScan’s AML strategy and innovation agenda, working closely with the company’s product, marketing, and client-facing teams. Her focus will include areas such as sanctions screening, perpetual KYC, model validation, and AI-driven compliance innovation. Ostrowski, meanwhile, will oversee FinScan’s product roadmap, ensuring its solutions remain aligned with global compliance standards and technological advancements.

LaPorte brings over 25 years of experience in financial crime prevention and is both a Certified Financial Crime Specialist (CFCS) and Financial Intelligence Specialist (FIS). She has previously held leadership roles at Advisor Group, CSI, and FINRA and was most recently a strategic advisor for fraud and AML at Datos Insights. Additionally, she founded Exodus Partners Group, advising fintechs, regulators, and law enforcement on AML and fraud strategies.

Ostrowski joins FinScan with more than 17 years of experience in banking and compliance technology. He is a Certified Regulatory Compliance Manager (CRCM) and Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS). Prior to joining FinScan, he served as chief operating officer and head of product at FinClusive, where he led development for its compliance-as-a-service platform. Earlier in his career, he held senior risk management roles at Wells Fargo, overseeing operational risk and BSA/AML programme initiatives.

Innovative Systems chief operating officer Deborah Overdeput said, “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.”
