• Embedded compliance into the platform architecture from day one: OFAC screening, Red Flags Rule, Military Lending Act checks, and secure customer data handling.
• Lead all aspects of the business — product vision, software development, customer discovery, partnerships, go-to-market strategy, and executive recruiting.
