Meet Andrea
I'm a business attorney who built my career inside regulated financial services, not outside of it.
For more than 15 years, I've worked at the intersection of legal, compliance, product, finance, and customer experience. I currently serve as Chief Legal & Compliance Officer, Bank Secrecy Act Officer, and Corporate Secretary for a multi-state financial services organization — but titles don't tell the whole story.
I design operating systems for governance and risk. I take complex regulatory requirements and translate them into processes, controls, and product guardrails that a business can actually execute.
I don't treat compliance as a side function — I treat it as infrastructure for growth. I build lean teams, develop leaders who stay, set priorities, create accountability, and keep the focus on what moves the business forward.

I advise executive leadership and Boards on enterprise risk, fintech partnerships, market expansion, and new product launches, and I lead responses to federal and state regulatory examinations, including CFPB and FDIC oversight.
I'm hands-on when it matters. I get into the details of licensing, product flows, complaint data, QA trends, and contract structure, so I know when to delegate and when to step in myself.
Earlier in my career, I rebuilt a compliance program that lacked business integration and turned it into an enterprise system with audit discipline and regulator confidence. I've reduced litigation spend, supported acquisitions and fintech platform transactions, and embedded compliance into product launches from day one.
A fun fact: I genuinely enjoy writing policies and procedures. Taking something complex, understanding exactly how it works, and turning it into a clear, usable SOP is one of my favorite parts of this work.
I work best with growth-oriented financial services, fintech, and regulated product organizations that need both execution and governance — companies expanding into new states, organizations building or scaling bank partnerships, and Boards that want visibility, not surprises.
I am licensed to practice in Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky, as well as before the Supreme Court of the United States, and provide consulting services to clients throughout the United States.
