AML RightSource Forms International Advisory Board to Strengthen Crypto Compliance

Last updated on March 8th, 2026 at 05:58 pm

AML RightSource has launched an International Advisory Board to guide its global expansion and strengthen compliance across banking, payments, and crypto markets. Chaired by Vesna McCreery, the new board complements AML RightSource’s existing North America Advisory Board and brings together senior experts from Europe, APAC, and Australia.

Global expertise for a complex crypto landscape

The board’s members include experienced financial crime leaders with deep expertise in digital assets and crypto regulation. Dayna Bordin, UK MLRO at GSR, has led transformation projects at major banks and now applies her knowledge to the crypto sector. Matt Brown, a global sanctions and detection specialist, has modernized AML programs at RBS, Barclays, and HSBC and focuses on tech-driven risk detection. John Fogarty brings 35 years of APAC regulatory experience, while Alan Ketley, former Wolfsberg Group Executive Secretary, contributes decades of international AML insight.

The board will help AML RightSource support clients as they navigate the evolving regulatory and compliance requirements in crypto and traditional finance. It aims to refine global service delivery, provide practical guidance on risk management, and accelerate innovation in financial crime prevention.

Driving compliance and innovation in crypto

Vesna McCreery said, “Each member brings unmatched experience in real-world compliance challenges. Their insight will be critical as we expand AML RightSource’s global capabilities and support clients across crypto and banking.” CEO Steve Meirink added,

“Our clients face new regulations, asset classes, and risks. This board ensures practitioner-led guidance directly informs our strategy, helping clients reduce risk and stay compliant in a fast-changing environment.”

The International Advisory Board will play a strategic role in shaping AML RightSource’s growth, executive agenda, and services in EMEA and APAC, ensuring the firm continues to deliver effective, compliance-focused solutions for crypto and financial institutions worldwide.

Supporting this sentiment, the cryptocurrency industry is facing a record-breaking surge in “wrench attacks,” physical assaults, kidnappings, and home invasions aimed at coercing victims into surrendering digital assets, with reported incidents jumping more than 169%.
