Kaizen RegTech has announced new leadership responsibilities within its existing group structure, with Michael Leach promoted to CEO of Kaizen Reporting while Dario Crispini continues in his role as Group CEO.
Kaizen RegTech Group operates across the regulatory reporting and compliance landscape, supporting financial institutions with technology-driven solutions designed to help firms meet complex regulatory obligations. The group focuses on delivering automated tools that improve the accuracy, efficiency and reliability of regulatory reporting processes, enabling organisations to manage compliance at scale across multiple jurisdictions.
Under the updated structure, Dario Crispini will continue as Group CEO, maintaining oversight of the group’s overall strategy and growth. In addition, he will continue to lead regulatory reporting product and innovation, while remaining closely involved with clients and broader market engagement. Michael Leach has been promoted to CEO of Kaizen Reporting, the group’s flagship regulatory reporting business.
Crispini founded Kaizen Reporting in 2013, developing the first automated quality assurance solution for regulatory reporting. Since then, the company has grown into a market leader in this space, working with hundreds of financial firms globally and establishing itself as a trusted provider of regulatory reporting technology.
Leach joined Kaizen Reporting as chief revenue officer (CRO) in June 2025. Prior to joining Kaizen, he worked at London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG), where he played a pivotal role in building UnaVista, now known as LSEG Regulatory Reporting Solutions, into a global brand serving financial institutions worldwide.
Kaizen Reporting has also recently strengthened its senior leadership team with several appointments, including James Crow as CTO, alongside Chris Childs and Tim Keady joining the business as strategic advisors. These hires are intended to support the company’s continued investment in technology, innovation and long-term product development.
The group said it will maintain a strong focus on enhancing its overall strategy, strengthening its technology capabilities, and continuing its commitment to clients and people as it scales its operations and expands its footprint in the global RegTech market.
Dario Crispini said, “As Kaizen continues to grow, it’s important that we align leadership focus with how the business is evolving. This change allows me to spend more time on group strategy, innovation and client relationships, while Mike leads Kaizen Reporting through its next phase of growth. Mike has been a key part of shaping our commercial direction, and I know the business is in great hands.”
Michael Leach said, “Kaizen Reporting has an incredibly strong foundation, a clear strategy, and a talented team. I’m excited to lead the business, support our clients, and drive the next phase of growth through continued investment in technology, innovation, and delivery excellence.”
