SmartSearch appoints new VP of technology

Published on

SmartSearch has promoted Andrew Booth to the position of vice president of technology, one of 16 promotions across its team.

Booth (pictured) joined SmartSearch more than five years ago and has served as its head of technology. In his new role of vice president, he will have greater responsibility over company infrastructure and its wider technology strategy. This will cover both internal infrastructure and service delivery across its teams, as well as the development and delivery of the SmartSearch product.

Booth said: “I am really pleased to be taking this next step in my career with SmartSearch. The company has long been synonymous for innovation and cutting-edge compliance technology and I’m incredibly proud to continue playing my part. Across the team, we are hugely ambitious and deep in development on future enhancements that will not only deliver greater efficiencies for clients, but further protection from serious financial crime.”

Collette Allen, COO of SmartSearch added: “Andrew is a clear example of the fantastic talent found within the team and along with our 15 other promotions, I congratulate them on their new roles. All have made tremendous contributions to our business and our overarching objective to deliver an exceptional product with a first-class service.

“Our people and our technology are two of the key pillars behind our continued growth and success. We are big believers in recognising and developing talent, with many of our senior roles held by those that have risen through the ranks. This is great news for our clients with real experience and expertise at every touchpoint across the business. We then complement this with talented external hires who challenge us with a fresh perspective and new ideas to improve our service, as we continue to protect people and businesses globally from money laundering and fraud.”
