Feedzai, the market leader in anti-fraud and financial crime
software, has appointed corporate finance heavyweight David Larson
as its new Chief Financial Officer as the firm enters its phase of
growth and expansion.
Founded in 2011, Feedzai’s RiskOps platform now protects
approximately a billion people globally, analyzing over $6 trillion
in payments at 3000 transactions per second to prevent fraud.
Powered by big data and machine learning, Feedzai has built the
most advanced risk management platform, trusted by major
institutions worldwide. A global company, with 10 international
offices and 600+ employees, Feedzai has firmly established itself
as the market leader in fighting financial crime with AI.
David joins from Thomson Reuters, where he spent nearly 15 years
and was most recently its Chief Strategy Officer. He has extensive
experience in global finance, corporate development and M&A in
large-scale businesses with multiple product lines driving
sustainable and profitable organic growth. David was also integral
in creating the Governance, Risk and Compliance division for
Thomson Reuters, including the acquisition of World-Check (a
database used around the world to help identify and manage
financial, regulatory and reputational risk and perform KYC) now
owned by LSEG.
David’s track record and deep understanding of operational
dynamics within larger organizations will provide Feedzai with a
valuable advantage as the business continues to scale. His M&A
and strategy experience will help Feedzai take advantage of the
market opportunity to be a consolidator in the industry. As
Feedzai’s CFO, David will be responsible for managing all global
financial actions of the business, reporting directly to Feedzai’s
founder and CEO, Nuno Sebastião.
On his appointment, David Larson said, “The alarming rise
of financial crime is not showing any signs of slowing down and we
need real, innovative solutions to stop fraudsters in their tracks.
Feedzai’s impressive technology is the solution to staying one step
ahead of the criminals. I’ve long admired Feedzai and it’s an honor
to join the team building a category leading product in the RiskOps
space to help organizations streamline all aspects of customer risk
management and protect billions from the perils of financial crime.
I look forward to being a part of this growth journey.”
Nuno Sebastião, co-founder and CEO of Feedzai said,
“David’s impressive global leadership experience will be pivotal
for Feedzai as we enter this next phase of growth and seek
opportunities to consolidate across our space and explore potential
M&A activity, as we execute on our vision of being a ubiquitous
financial crime risk management service which is core to the
architecture of every financial service provider. We have bold
ambitions for Feedzai as we continue our mission to use AI to keep
consumers safe and protect millions from fraud and financial crime.
A world-class leadership team is essential in realizing those
goals. David is the perfect hire to help drive this growth and I
look forward to working with him closely.”
The appointment comes as Feedzai recently announced a record
breaking fiscal year 2024 - led by 88% growth in their behavioral
biometrics solution.
