Carolyn Dicharry

15+ years of experience in financial crimes compliance, management, and program development, including in both traditional finance (banking, MSBs) and fintech (blockchain technology, cryptocurrency) settings. Most recently served as the BSA Officer at Ripple, where I developed and managed various financial crimes compliance programs related to Ripple’s virtual currency and blockchain technology-based products. Before joining Ripple, I worked as a compliance officer for Sigue, a leading global money transfer firm, and managed AML investigations at Wells Fargo’s FIU. Since 2019, I've continued BSA/AML and OFAC sanctions compliance work with various leading cryptocurrency fintech clients through my consulting firm, Canaria Consulting, LLC (www.canariaconsulting.com). Canaria Consulting was founded to help virtual currency firms meet their regulatory obligations in a way that is tailored to the unique characteristics of virtual currency and decentralized blockchain technologies.
