TIFIN Announces Andrew Dahlinghaus as New COO
On December 8, 2025, TIFIN made a significant announcement with the appointment of Andrew Dahlinghaus as its new Chief Operating Officer (COO). Bringing over 25 years of extensive experience in legal, regulatory, and operational areas across various technology-driven and highly regulated environments, Dahlinghaus is set to lead TIFIN's next strategic phase.
Andrew comes to TIFIN with a robust background that includes roles in prominent global corporations as well as start-ups. He started his career at Arent Fox in Washington, D.C., where he offered counsel to life sciences firms on regulatory issues, government inquiries, and mergers and acquisitions. Following this, he took on a pivotal role at Covidien, which is now part of Medtronic, overseeing commercial legal functions for one of its major divisions and shaping legal strategies for imperative acquisitions.
In his new role at TIFIN, he will report directly to the Founder and CEO, Dr. Vinay Nair. Dr. Nair highlighted, "Andrew has spent his career where regulation, complexity, and scale intersect. His specific experiences are exactly what TIFIN requires as we work to broaden the scope of our AI platforms in wealth management, asset management, and insurance."
Following his tenure at Medtronic, Dahlinghaus transitioned into senior positions within private-equity-backed companies. His contributions included successfully taking Convatec Group plc public on the London Stock Exchange and fortifying governance, data protection, and internal audit frameworks at tech firms with a global presence. His career has seen him manage teams across a varied set of regions including China, India, the EU, Singapore, and the UK.
As a General Counsel, Dahlinghaus has been at the forefront of complex litigations, which have led to multimillion-dollar settlements, and has effectively interacted with governmental enforcement agencies. He has been instrumental in establishing global data protection norms as well as enterprise risk management systems. Furthermore, his work has included advising on products leveraging machine learning and spearheading data-centric initiatives aimed at global market expansion.
Andrew expressed enthusiasm about stepping into this prominent role, stating, "AI in financial services is transitioning from trial phases to becoming core infrastructure. TIFIN stands at the epicenter of this evolution in asset, wealth, and insurance spaces. I am eager to collaborate with Vinay and our team as we forge ahead."
Andrew's educational background includes a Juris Doctor degree from The George Washington University Law School, which complements his professional development.
