David McLaughlin

David McLaughlin was the founder and Chief Executive Officer of QuantaVerse. QuantaVerse was founded in 2014 in response to an emerging trend among large global financial services firms who were having to dramatically increase the investment required to prevent customers from conducting financial crimes through their systems. These investments were in reaction to increasing pressure from global regulatory agencies through their pursuit of large fines, and threats of criminal prosecution, for violations. The firm developed advanced, proprietary, data science algorithms that automates previously manual investigations which lowers both the costs and risks associated with an Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Compliance Operation.

QuantaVerse was purchased by AML RightSource, backed by Gridiron Capital, in August of 2021. After successfully integrating the technology platform into AML RightSource operations, David resigned from the firm to explore new opportunities.

Before founding QuantaVerse, Mr. McLaughlin held a variety of roles and responsibilities with SEI Investments, a provider of outsourced technology and asset management solutions to the financial services industry. Over a nearly 20 year career with SEI, these responsibilities included successful P&L management of a variety of business conditions including the creation of a start-up business unit, the turn-around of a mature division, and the acceleration of growth of an existing business.

Mr. McLaughlin joined SEI in 1992 after serving more than six years as a naval officer. He was commissioned as an Ensign in the US Navy in 1986 and attended flight school in Pensacola, Florida. He is a graduate from the highly regarded TOPGUN program and completed a combat tour in the Persian Gulf where he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and two Air Medals for bravery in combat.

Mr. McLaughlin was graduated from West Virginia University, received his master’s degree from Webster University in 1992, and his CFA charter in 1997.
