Mads Krogh Munch Nielsen

With over 15 years of experience in financial crime prevention, I have developed a comprehensive and strategic perspective that positions me as a key player in ensuring vendor quality, compliance, and operational excellence. Currently, I serve as a Domain Architect in the Financial Crime Prevention domain at BEC, where I lead the architectural strategy for AML solutions. My responsibilities include defining target architecture and transitioning from monolithic to distributed architecture in a cloud-native environment.

Previously, I was a Partner at Carve Consulting, working closely with financial institutions to optimize risk-based control models and compliance frameworks. My earlier role as the Head of the North EMEA Public Fraud Team at SAS Institute allowed me to specialize in deploying advanced analytics and AI-driven fraud detection solutions. I have a deep understanding of vendor performance benchmarking, compliance verification, and operational risk mitigation strategies, which I have applied in various capacities throughout my career.

My expertise extends to working with vendor solutions such as LNRS Firco, SAS AML, and AWS-based fraud detection systems. I excel in cross-functional collaboration, engaging with business, IT, compliance, and legal teams to ensure seamless vendor integration and continuous improvement. I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to Pleo’s innovative approach to financial crime prevention and to strengthen your vendor assurance framework.
