Taktile is proud to announce Dustin Eaton as Principal of Fraud & AML.
As the new, in-house expert on preventing financial crime, Dustin will take Taktile’s fraud and anti-money laundering (AML) capabilities to the next level.
Meet Dustin Eaton: An expert leader in compliance, fraud, and AML
Dustin brings nearly a decade of fraud and AML leadership experience across multiple regions and customer segments. Over his career, he has built and led compliance, fraud, and AML programs that balance strong regulatory alignment with business growth - and he is excited to bring that expertise to the team to help our customers solve real challenges.
“I’ve been fortunate to work across all three lines of defense in AML and fraud - from front line banking at Wells Fargo; to second line at fintech, banks and credit unions; to the third line of defense in audit with one of the largest insurance companies,” says Dustin.
“This has given me a 360° view of how to solve problems within financial crimes and fraud. I’m bringing that insight and expertise to help Taktile’s clients leverage smarter, AI-powered compliance strategies and decisions.”
Dustin’s role in a pivotal era of Taktile’s growth journey
As Taktile continues to expand into new markets and onboard some of its largest customers, Dustin will ensure that every financial institution is set up for long-term success, bridging the gap between compliance needs and operational realities.
In the transaction monitoring use case, Taktile enables risk teams to harness a combination of human expertise, real-time data, and powerful AI capabilities to adapt to regulatory requirements and prevent sophisticated crime with speed and precision.
With Dustin on board, Taktile is better equipped to meet the growing demand for smarter, more proactive fraud and AML decision platforms across financial services.
“Dustin’s holistic expertise and leadership in compliance, fraud, and AML is exactly what we need as we continue to scale rapidly,” says Co-Founder and CEO Maik Taro Wehmeyer. “More and more, we are meeting customers facing complex regulation requirements or customer onboarding challenges, and we couldn’t be more excited for Dustin to help deepen our impact in these areas.”
Work with Dustin to build stronger defenses against financial crime
When asked to reflect on the road ahead, Dustin says:
“This new role means partnering with forward-thinking companies to tackle their toughest fraud and AML challenges, especially where AI, regulatory change, and real-world operations meet. I’m excited to show how we can turn compliance from a “cost center” into a strategic advantage.”
If you’re a founder, compliance lead, fraud manager, or product owner, you can book time with Dustin to discuss how we can help:
- Reduce false positives without opening the floodgates
- Build smarter AML programs that scale with your growth
- Turn fraud prevention into a business enabler, not a blocker
Taktile is at a momentous stage in its expansion, and Dustin’s arrival marks a key step in advancing its vision for smarter decision-making to protect against financial crime.
