A consulting company that advises financial firms on compliance issues has expanded its executive team.
Compliance Risk Concepts, based in New York City, has added three new members to its leadership team, including John Telfair, a former Finra Membership Application Program member. Telfair has been appointed associate director of broker-dealer registration. In addition, Darren Norwood was hired and Kaitlyn Gibbs was promoted.
Norwood is the firm’s new associate director of engagement, who will oversee client relationships. Gibbs, who has been with the firm since 2017, will serve as associate director of investment advisory engagement management and regulatory research.
Mitch Avnet, founder and managing partner at the firm, said in a statement, the new hires and promotion, along with more than a dozen other new hires since 2020, “will help our clients navigate evolving standards impacting the broker-dealer industry, particularly as they enhance their businesses for scale and growth.”
