StarCompliance, a leading provider of compliance technology for employees and firms, has overhauled its executive bench with two external hires and two internal promotions as it looks to capitalise on surging demand across the RegTech space.
The company has named Bill Chatterton as CFO and Alan Knepfer as chief revenue officer, while elevating Lauren St. Amand to chief marketing officer and David Strauss to general counsel.
The reshuffle arrives at a moment of rapid expansion for Star, fuelled by growing appetite for employee compliance tools, oversight of digital assets, AI-enabled offerings and coverage of newer risk categories including prediction markets.
The past twelve months have seen the firm push hard on innovation. It rolled out StarAssist, which embeds explainable AI into compliance workflows, and partnered with Kalshi to debut what it describes as the financial industry’s first enterprise-grade solution for monitoring prediction markets. Star also published its first Global Compliance Benchmark Study, drawing on the views of more than 300 leaders spanning compliance, risk and technology.
Chatterton arrives with over two decades of experience at private equity-backed software and technology businesses, having previously served as CFO at Get Well and in senior finance positions at QuadraMed and xG Health. At Star, he will run the global finance function with a remit covering operational scale and long-term growth.
Knepfer, who takes charge of worldwide revenue strategy spanning sales, marketing, relationship management, partnerships and go-to-market execution, brings more than 25 years of commercial leadership across financial services, GRC, privacy and cybersecurity. He was most recently chief revenue officer at Salus GRC, following sales leadership stints at Nasdaq, RadarFirst and Comodo Cybersecurity.
St. Amand, a Star employee since 2022, will keep steering the company’s global marketing, brand, communications and demand generation efforts as the business widens its market footprint. Strauss, an eight-year veteran of the firm, continues to head its legal function, combining strategic counsel with governance, risk management and compliance support.
Star builds technology that helps financial institutions construct connected, scalable and resilient compliance programmes as regulatory expectations rise and fresh forms of employee risk emerge.
StarCompliance CEO Jennifer Sun said, “As the regulatory landscape continues to evolve, firms are confronting increasing complexity across employee conduct, digital assets, AI governance, and emerging markets. Our continued growth reflects the critical role compliance plays in helping firms innovate while managing risk. Strengthening our leadership team positions us to accelerate innovation, deepen client partnerships, and deliver the technology and expertise our clients need to navigate what’s next.”
