FIS
2Heads of Compliance placed
2Legal entities
For more than 50 years, leading financial institutions have relied on FIS technology to power mission-critical operations. Searching for senior compliance leaders, FIS enlisted Broadgate’s recruitment and advisory specialists. Having delivered similar regulatory-approved governance hires in FinTech, Broadgate quickly found and vetted qualified, culturally attuned candidates from a global network, placing two regulatory-approved Heads of Compliance in two legal entities.
Read the case study →Darren and the Broadgate team have been a valuable partner for us in the Compliance market in Ireland. He and the team have a well networked pool of candidates who are well-briefed on our requirements and company values and I look forward to working with him in the year ahead.
