Fenergo Adds Senior Product Leads to Sharpen AI driven CLM and Financial Crime Roadmap

Subscribe to our newsletter

Fenergo has appointed three experienced product leaders – Sharon Bodkin (VP, Banking Product), Neil D’Rosario (VP, Buyside Product) and Adam McLaughlin (Director, Financial Crime Product) – to advance its client?lifecycle management (CLM) and financial?crime portfolio. The roles are effective immediately and align with the company’s push to let financial institutions manage CLM and financial?crime tasks on a single platform.

Why it matters

The hires concentrate domain expertise where many banks and asset managers feel the most pressure: unifying onboarding, KYC and ongoing risk controls while keeping pace with evolving regulations. Fenergo’s stated direction is pragmatic rather than purely headline?driven – deepen product leadership in banking and buyside workflows and harden the financial?crime roadmap so firms can seek efficiency gains and reduce regulatory risk without fragmenting tooling.

“Each brings extensive experience and domain knowledge that will be critical as we deliver on our vision to transform compliance from a reactive cost centre into a strategic competitive advantage.” – Marc Murphy, Founder & CEO

Who’s taking what – and the experience they bring

  • Banking Product (Bodkin): After 28 years at Citigroup across securities fund services, treasury and trade solutions and KYC, Bodkin led the Client Lifecycle Simplification program spanning 90+ countries and oversaw global financial?crime KYC risk and controls. Her remit is to steer Fenergo’s banking portfolio roadmap, drawing on measurable improvements she delivered in client experience, cost optimization and regulatory alignment.
  • Financial Crime Product (McLaughlin): With nearly 20 years across law enforcement, financial services and technology, McLaughlin previously served as Global Director of Financial Crime Strategy and AML SME at Nice Actimize and earlier managed corporate and institutional banking financial?crime compliance in EMEA for JP Morgan. He is tasked with translating regulatory expectations, emerging threats and enabling technologies into Fenergo’s financial?crime product roadmap and innovation strategy.
  • Buyside Product (D’Rosario): Former Global Product Lead and SVP at Northern Trust, D’Rosario has 20+ years modernizing asset?servicing at institutions including Citigroup and JP Morgan. He led specialized product teams across transfer agency, private capital, fund accounting, digital assets, depository services and data delivery – and spearheaded the implementation of the Fenergo solution at Northern Trust. His focus is advancing buyside offerings with an emphasis on product strategy and client experience.

Platform context

Fenergo positions its FinCrime Operating System (FinCrime OS) – powered by agentic AI – as a way for institutions to handle more clients with fewer errors, reduce operational complexity and improve compliance efficiency while maintaining robust governance and control. The new leadership is intended to channel frontline experience into that roadmap, so CLM and financial?crime capabilities evolve together rather than as separate stacks.
