ThetaRay, a global cognitive AI financial crime compliance provider, has appointed financial markets technology leader Brad Levy as its new chief executive officer.
The company, recognised for its advanced AI-driven transaction monitoring and due diligence capabilities, said Levy will guide its next phase of international expansion.
ThetaRay develops Cognitive AI technology that helps banks and FinTech firms detect emerging financial crime risks across complex, high-volume transaction environments. Its platform is designed to support compliance teams in addressing evolving regulatory obligations while enabling secure, efficient financial operations.
Levy is well known in global financial markets for his roles leading major infrastructure and technology organisations. He previously served as CEO of Symphony, where he oversaw the growth of a widely used financial markets communication and workflow platform. Before that, he held senior leadership positions at IHS Markit, including CEO of MarkitSERV, and spent 18 years at Goldman Sachs, culminating as managing director and global head of the Principal Strategic Investments Group.
Levy has received multiple industry accolades, including being named CEO of the Year at the 2022 Markets Choice Awards, reflecting his long-standing influence in financial technology and market structure. His experience building and scaling infrastructure platforms is central to ThetaRay’s aim of strengthening its global footprint.
The company added that Levy joins during a pivotal period, following strong progress under outgoing CEO Peter Reynolds. During his tenure, Reynolds oversaw the expansion of ThetaRay’s enterprise client base, enhancements to its product suite, and broader commercial traction as Cognitive AI gained prominence across financial services.
ThetaRay confirmed that Reynolds, who has served as chief executive officer since June 2023, will step down for family reasons and transition into an advisory role. He will remain closely involved during a defined handover period, supporting both Levy and the wider leadership team.
Incoming CEO of ThetaRay Brad Levy said, “ThetaRay has built the leading AI platform for financial crime compliance, with proven impact across the world’s most complex financial environments. The industry is reaching a tipping point, where AI is no longer optional but foundational. My focus is on scaling this platform globally, deepening our partnerships with financial institutions, and embedding compliance as a strategic capability that drives sustainable growth. I’m tremendously excited to lead the company forward alongside a team that combines deep domain expertise with real-world execution.”
