Revolut’s head of financial crime and fraud Aaron Elliott-Gross leaves to join Wise as product compliance lead
Aaron Elliott-Gross has left his position as Revolut’s group head of financial crime and fraud to join Wise as its new global director of product compliance.
Elliott-Gross initially joined the London-headquartered challenger in July 2021, appointed as head of strategy and operations for its financial crime unit after previously serving in similar roles for EY and Quantexa.
Six months later, he ascended to the position of group head of financial crime and fraud, taking charge of Revolut’s “products and operations to prevent and detect financial crime and fraud”. He was also subsequently appointed as a Revolut partner having “contributed meaningfully to our business and culture”, the challenger said at the time.
Confirming the news of his “bittersweet” departure via LinkedIn, Elliott-Gross says he will now lead “the first line product compliance function” for Wise with a focus on both “financial crime and regulatory compliance systems and controls, helping to support safe business growth as we continue to scale globally”.
A Revolut spokesperson says the company thanks Elliott-Gross for his “hard work and dedication” during his time at the firm.
