Kurt is an attorney and management consultant with over twenty years of experience leveraging technology and data analytics to help clients meet their regulatory requirements and conduct global investigations. His areas of expertise include Board and regulatory compliance reporting and program assessments, financial crime compliance, model risk management ("MRM"), predictive modeling & artificial intelligence, data-intensive investigations, and compliance technology solutions.

Kurt regularly assists financial institutions, digital asset/crypto firms, and regulators in the evaluation of compliance programs and the technologies supporting compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act ("BSA"), FINRA Rule 3110, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA"), and their international equivalents, including multiple engagements working with or on behalf of FRB, UK FCA, HKMA, DOJ, NYDFS, OCC, and FDIC. He also advises government agencies, insurance companies, and law firms on the appropriate use of technology, data analytics, and predictive modeling.

Across Kurt’s career, a consistent theme has been helping organizations translate complex data and technology into insights that regulators, courts, and executives can understand and act on. Early in his career he led enforcement investigations for the Kansas Department of Labor, where he supervised investigators and integrated predictive analytics into agency surveillance systems. He later served as a workstream lead on the HSBC DOJ monitorship, overseeing global testing of transaction monitoring and compliance technology across multiple jurisdictions. These experiences shaped his approach to compliance and investigations: working closely with data and engineering teams to understand how systems operate, using rigorous analytics to assess whether organizations are meeting regulatory expectations, and presenting technical findings in clear, defensible terms that support regulatory oversight, litigation strategy, and executive decision-making. As he often notes, while the technologies continue to evolve, the most effective compliance programs are those that understand how their systems work and why they meet their obligations.

A son of a military family, Kurt spent his childhood living across three continents. He’s a father of three and a die-hard New York Yankees and Kansas Jayhawks fan.
