"David's leadership and deep expertise in financial crime compliance make him an invaluable addition to the WorkFusion team," said Wendy Petty, Chief Revenue Officer of WorkFusion. "His first-hand experience will be instrumental in understanding our customers' needs as they navigate increasingly sophisticated financial crime schemes and regulatory pressures."

He played a key role while at Riggs Bank, uncovering international corruption schemes that set new standards in regulatory compliance and influencing enforcement actions by global regulatory bodies. Caruso founded The Dominion Advisory Group, a consulting firm guiding banks through regulatory enforcement actions. Additionally, his RegTech expertise includes his role as Chief Client Officer of TranparINT, a machine learning RegTech firm that led to a successful acquisition by Steele Compliance.

Financial institutions need new ways to manage their compliance risks more effectively," added David Caruso.
