As part of the Company’s commitment to regulatory compliance, Ruesch International hired Samantha Pelosi, former Senior Counsel, Office of Chief Counsel, Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), U.S. Department of the Treasury to serve as Ruesch International's Director of Corporate Compliance. Pelosi's expertise in the areas of anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing regulation and compliance underscores Ruesch International’s drive to be an industry leader in the area of regulatory compliance. She directs the Company’s initiatives to implement “best in class” compliance and control procedures designed to protect Ruesch International’s clients, its banking partners, and the integrity of the financial markets.
