FinScan has strengthened its leadership in anti-money laundering (AML) technology with two senior appointments aimed at advancing product innovation and regulatory alignment. Becki LaPorte joins as Principal, AML Strategy and Innovation, while Christopher Ostrowski becomes Product Management Leader – both bringing deep experience in financial crime prevention and compliance operations.
LaPorte will focus on shaping FinScan’s AML strategy and innovation roadmap, working with teams across product, marketing, and client engagement to guide developments in sanctions screening, perpetual KYC, model validation, and AI-driven compliance. A Certified Financial Crime Specialist and Financial Intelligence Specialist, she has more than 25 years’ experience spanning industry, advisory, and regulatory roles. Her background includes serving as Strategic Advisor for Fraud & AML at Datos Insights, founding Exodus Partners Group, and holding senior positions at Advisor Group, CSI, and FINRA, where she developed compliance training for examiners and investigators.
Ostrowski brings over 17 years of product and compliance expertise to his role leading product management. A Certified Regulatory Compliance Manager and Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist, he was previously Chief Operating Officer and Head of Product at FinClusive, where he oversaw development of a compliance-as-a-service platform. Earlier, at Wells Fargo, he managed operational risk and BSA/AML programme initiatives across multiple business units.
Deborah Overdeput, Chief Operating Officer at Innovative Systems, noted that “Becki and Chris bring a combination of visionary leadership, hands-on compliance expertise, and product innovation experience that directly aligns with FinScan’s mission.” She added that their arrival supports the company’s ongoing focus on meeting evolving risk and regulatory demands while anticipating future needs across the financial sector.
