Max Sherlock

Founder

Over the last 12 years, I've been fortunate enough to build my career across almost every corner of financial crime. I've worked in banks, fintechs, payment acquiring, cryptocurrency and the gambling industry, tackling everything from fraud and AML to sanctions and financial crime risk.

​

Along the way I've investigated complex cases, refined detection rules, helped implement monitoring systems, improved financial crime controls and worked with teams to identify and manage emerging risks.

​

My goal isn't to teach regulations.

It's to help you develop the judgement, curiosity and investigative mindset that usually takes years of experience to build.

​

If something I write helps you solve a difficult case, improve a process, ask a better question or take the next step in your career, then Beyond the Alert has achieved exactly what it was created to do.

​

When I'm not writing about financial crime, you'll probably find me outdoors. I'm a keen hiker and climber, and sport has always been a big part of my life. I enjoy football, tennis and lacrosse, and these days there's nothing better than sharing those experiences with my four-year-old son.
