Keith Furst is the Managing Director of Data Derivatives, a consulting firm focused on implementing, validating, and fine-tuning financial crime systems. He has many years of extensive consulting experience working for a wide variety of financial institutions focusing on the documentation, design, model development, implementation, calibration, and validation of financial crime systems. Keith has broad exposure and hands-on involvement in all phases of the project life cycle for transaction monitoring, know your customer (KYC), customer due diligence (CDD), sanctions, trade compliance, and anti-fraud systems. He has worked for banks in New York City under extreme regulatory scrutiny and helped guide them through the complexity of transforming their compliance system infrastructure to meet industry best practices and guidelines. He has also optimized financial crime detection models and recommended tactical configuration changes to thresholds and parameters by using data mining and other statistical techniques. Through multiple project engagements he has developed a stellar reputation as the “go-to” person when mission critical defects or failures emerge, as he has proven his ability to be one of the few individuals who can lead the effort to quickly identify a problem, drive executive buy-in for the proposed solution, execute the plan, and validate the final results.

He has trained other financial crime professionals and developed a majority of the content for a sanctions screening module. He writes thought pieces frequently and has been published in the American Banker, The Asian Banker, the Association of Certified Financial Crime Specialists, and The South China Morning Post on a diverse range of intricate topics such as financial crime, artificial intelligence, and risk management.
