Ripjar Bolsters Leadership with Key Appointments
Ripjar, a provider of smarter screening and risk intelligence solutions, has appointed Conrad Nicholas as Chief Product Officer and Katie Miller as Vice President of Marketing.
Conrad Nicholas joins Ripjar from Droit, where he led the product line through a period of significant growth, ahead of its acquisition by FIS. Prior to that, he spent 12 years at UBS, leading product for regulatory onboarding and data services. He began his career at Accenture, implementing vendor solutions in complex banking environments.
Katie Miller brings over 20 years of marketing experience, including seven years at AML Analytics as Group Head of Marketing and Communications. She has worked directly with sanctions screening and transaction monitoring testing and validation solutions, selling to governments, financial intelligence units, and regulators.
The appointments come as businesses face increasing regulatory pressure, fast-changing global sanctions regimes, and multiplying adverse media risks. Ripjar's new leadership team will focus on delivering scalable SaaS platforms with fully explainable AI.
Conrad Nicholas said, "Managing financial crime and reputational risk is becoming more complex, with growing adoption of AI among criminals. Ripjar is already ahead of this market with its application of AI to improve screening accuracy and performance, its GCHQ heritage, and a mission rooted in helping organisations make better, more defensible risk decisions."
Katie Miller added, "Ripjar has already built a strong global reputation among financial institutions and enterprises. The opportunity to further expand Ripjar's market presence and deepen its engagement with customers globally is an exciting proposition."
Matt Mills, Chief Executive Officer of Ripjar, said, "Conrad and Katie join Ripjar at a crucial moment, following strong growth in our screening business that has seen annual recurring revenues increase by 40%. Their appointments strengthen our leadership team as we enter the next stage of evolution, including our expansion into markets such as the US."
The new leadership team will bring together deep product expertise, sector insight, and global marketing experience to support Ripjar's global expansion.
