AML RightSource Welcomes Lalit Sharma as New CFO to Propel Growth and Innovation
In a significant move for its strategic growth, AML RightSource has appointed Lalit Sharma as its new Chief Financial Officer (CFO). This announcement, made by the company on May 15, 2025, marks a pivotal moment in the trajectory of the firm, which specializes in financial crime compliance and third-party risk management.
Sharma, equipped with over 25 years of experience, especially in the technology sector, joins AML RightSource after an impactful tenure at Ascendion. His background encompasses vital roles at notable organizations such as Collabera, NTT DATA Corporation, and PricewaterhouseCoopers. His rich expertise spans corporate finance, strategic leadership, financial planning and analysis (FPA), and operations. Such a wealth of experience positions him as an ideal fit to steer AML RightSource's financial strategies and fulfill its ambitious objectives.
As he steps into this leadership role, Lalit Sharma will work directly under the guiding hand of CEO Steve Meirink. "Lalit's appointment signifies not only a major step in our leadership evolution but also underscores our commitment to growing AML RightSource's footprint in the industry," commented Meirink. "With a strong financial and accounting team already in place, we are poised for greater impact, and we are confident that under Lalit's stewardship, our future successes will accelerate."
Sharma's skillset in enterprise transformation and risk management promises to strengthen AML RightSource’s operational grounding as the company targets increased long-term growth and innovation. Upon his appointment, Sharma expressed, "Joining AML RightSource at this crucial time is exhilarating. I resonate deeply with the company's mission of fostering trust and transparency in the financial systems. I'm eager to collaborate closely with the leadership team to construct a financial strategy that fosters innovation, global influence, and lasting value creation to fulfill our vision."
Sharma's elevation to CFO comes on the heels of Todd Ayers's retirement, who dedicated more than three decades to the company and played a significant role over the past seven years. Leading a team of over 6,500 trained experts, AML RightSource delivers a comprehensive suite of solutions aimed at combatting financial crimes, including fraud prevention and transaction monitoring, among others. Sharma’s approach to financial leadership is expected to enhance the firm's ability to expand its tech-enabled offerings and advisory services globally.
