A senior vice president of market investigations at the U.S. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has left the organization to become chief compliance officer at dealmaking fintech Finalis.

Steven Price, who supervised thousands of investigations during his six years at FINRA, will be joining San Francisco-based Finalis. The company provides licensing and other dealmaking compliance infrastructure, and has facilitated $34 billion of transactions to date.

Price’s move comes as the rise of fintechs and AI is creating competition on Wall Street and reshaping investment banking. He said he was attracted to the opportunity to apply the lessons he learned at FINRA to make things faster and connect the right information to the right parties.
