Experience

Fifteen years of building the compliance side.

Fintech and asset management, from a global equity manager to a startup broker-dealer I registered from scratch. The constant has been building programs where none existed yet.

dub (DASTA Inc.)

Sep 2021 – Present

  • General Counsel & Chief Compliance Officer (Jun 2025 – Present)

Also President and Chief Compliance Officer of dub Advisors, LLC, a registered investment adviser, and Principal, General Counsel, and Chief Compliance Officer of dub Financial, LLC, a FINRA member broker-dealer.

Took the organization from zero to one across product, regulation, and operations: formed and registered both the adviser and the broker-dealer, designed and implemented their compliance and supervisory programs, built the broker-dealer's middle office, and secured approvals for a broker-dealer supporting copy trading believed to be the first of its kind in the United States.

Created the adviser's first Creator Program, enabling compliant monetization of investment content and model portfolios, and led regulatory affairs, examinations, and organizational structure while partnering across Marketing, Product, Operations, and Finance.
