Christopher J. Carney, CEO & Founder
The CEO & Founder's Journey
- After spending 20 years working as a C-Suite Level Security Executive for USA Financial Institutions, the CEO was recruited by a Netherlands based Financial Crime Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) Software Company to launch their North American operations. Agreements with Royal Bank of Canada, Citigroup's Global AML function and State Street Bank established a solid foothold for the firm.
- He served as Chairman of the ABA Security and Fraud Prevention Oversight Council, as a member of the New York Clearinghouse Protection Committee, as Chair of the Boston Bank Clearinghouse Security Subcommittee, as Chair of the Massachusetts Bankers Association Security Committee, as member of the Bank Administration Institute (BAI) Security Committee and member of the Financial Services Roundtable (FSRT) Bank Industrial Technology Secretariat (BITS) Fraud Database Committee.
- The CEO joined TYCO/ADT as a Business Development executive and initiated and supported launching ADT's first hosted service, ADT Risk Review. Additionally, the CEO advised on the strategy and delivery of ADT's "Anti-Skim Solution", a technology designed to detect and mitigate ATM Skimming.
- Following ADT, the CEO was recruited to join Diebold as Senior Director and Visionary working with the Electronic Security Business. During his tenure he initiated and supported both the launch of Diebold's Security and Fraud Advisory Service and Diebold's first cloud hosted service, "SecureStat".
- The CEO co-founded a Massachusetts based company, 221BS LLC that partnered with the Worcester County Check Fraud Association and delivered a hosted crime intel platform for Credit Unions, Banks and Retail businesses.
- The CJC Security & Risk Consulting Associates LLC business was originally launched in 2013. Initially, the Founder focused on consulting to Banks and Credit Unions regarding Security.
- As a result of the Founder's experience coupled with solid input from consulting client financial institutions, Advisory Board members and the industry, it became clear that there was need and strong interest in a "predictive, and collaborative crime intelligence solution". Several webinars confirmed, via Voice of Market, that Crime-Tel is the answer to that challenge.
