Kaizen RegTech Group has announced new leadership responsibilities within its existing group structure, with Dario Crispini continuing as Group CEO and Michael Leach promoted to CEO of Kaizen Reporting, the group’s flagship regulatory reporting business.
The group provides technology-driven regulatory reporting and compliance solutions designed to help financial institutions meet complex global regulatory requirements. Its platforms focus on automating regulatory reporting processes, improving data quality, and reducing operational risk across multiple jurisdictions. Kaizen’s solutions are used by hundreds of financial firms worldwide, supporting compliance with regulations across asset classes and regulatory regimes.
Dario Crispini will remain in his role as Group CEO, overseeing overall strategy and growth across the group. Alongside this, he will continue to lead regulatory reporting product development and innovation, while remaining closely involved with client relationships and broader market engagement. Michael Leach, who previously held the role of chief revenue officer, has been promoted to CEO of Kaizen Reporting and will now be responsible for leading the business through its next phase of growth.
Crispini founded Kaizen Reporting in 2013, developing what became the first automated quality assurance solution for regulatory reporting. Under his leadership, the business has grown into a market leader in this space, building a global client base and expanding its technology capabilities in response to evolving regulatory demands.
Leach joined Kaizen Reporting as CRO in June 2025, following a senior career at London Stock Exchange Group, where he played a key role in building UnaVista, now known as LSEG Regulatory Reporting Solutions, into a global regulatory reporting brand. His experience spans commercial strategy, client growth, and scaling technology-led financial services businesses.
In addition to the leadership changes, Kaizen Reporting has recently announced several senior hires, including James Crow as CTO, alongside Chris Childs and Tim Keady as strategic advisors. These appointments are intended to strengthen the group’s technical leadership and strategic direction as it continues to invest in its product portfolio and organisational structure.
The company said its continued focus will remain on enhancing group strategy, advancing its technology platforms, and reinforcing its commitment to both clients and employees as it scales its global operations.
Kaizen RegTech Group CEO Dario Crispini said, “As Kaizen continues to grow, it’s important that we align leadership focus with how the business is evolving. This change allows me to spend more time on group strategy, innovation and client relationships, while Mike leads Kaizen Reporting through its next phase of growth. Mike has been a key part of shaping our commercial direction, and I know the business is in great hands.”
Michael Leach said, “Kaizen Reporting has an incredibly strong foundation, a clear strategy, and a talented team. I’m excited to lead the business, support our clients, and drive the next phase of growth through continued investment in technology, innovation, and delivery excellence.”
