New York, December 2023 – Armstrong Wolfe, a global hub for Financial Services Chief Operating Officers, is proud to announce a strategic alliance with Behavox, the leading provider of AI-driven compliance solutions. This partnership marks a significant step forward in revolutionizing the financial industry’s approach to risk management and operational oversight.

For over a decade, Armstrong Wolfe has been at the forefront of fostering collaboration within the investment banking Chief Control Officer (CCO) community. Through its platform, executives have come together to address regulatory and market-wide challenges related to conduct risk. The organization has been a driving force in integrating first-line business risk and control officers into the leadership teams of Corporate and Investment Banking CCOs and CEOs.

The ability to effectively surveil operations and continually adapt to evolving threats is paramount for any financial institution.”

The strength of glowing recommendations was coupled with the recognition of Behavox’s impressive track record, the caliber of its team, and the innovation embedded in its product suite. This convergence of factors paved the way for a robust partnership between the two organizations.
