Actionable insights on hiring, onboarding, training and giving your team a reason to stay | Fractional HR & Payroll solutions | Host of the Entrepreneur to Employer Podcast

I help community banks, credit unions, and fintech companies stay ahead of regulatory expectations by providing expert compliance, audit, and operational solutions.

As CEO of RADD, LLC, I partner with financial institutions to proactively manage regulatory risk, ensure audit readiness, and strengthen compliance frameworks — turning compliance and operations into a competitive advantage.

In addition to our compliance and audit services, I also provide Fractional COO solutions for fintechs navigating growth, regulatory complexity, or strategic transitions. These engagements help fintech leaders scale responsibly by aligning compliance, risk, and operational infrastructure to support sustainable growth.

Who I Work With:

Community banks (typically under $5 billion in assets)
Credit unions
Fintech companies partnering with banks and financial institutions
Fintechs bringing new products to market

Services I Provide:
Fractional Compliance Staffing & Consulting
Fractional COO Solutions for Fintechs
BSA/AML & OFAC Audits
Fair Lending & UDAAP Compliance Reviews
Compliance Management System Assessments
Risk Assessments (BSA, Fraud, Fair Lending, Enterprise Risk)
Model Validation for AML Software
Regulatory Exam Preparation & Remediation Support
Internal Audit Services
Third-Party Vendor Management Reviews

I take a proactive, strategic approach to compliance — helping financial institutions move beyond checkbox compliance to a risk-based, sustainable, and operationally integrated model. With hands-on experience in both regulatory audits and fintech operations, I bridge the gap between regulatory expectations and real-world execution, helping clients scale with confidence.
