Eventus Systems appoints Joseph Schifano to new role of Global Head of Regulatory Affairs
Eventus Systems, Inc., a multi-award winning global trade surveillance and risk management software platform provider, today announced the appointment of Joseph Schifano as Global Head of Regulatory Affairs, Mikhail Gasiorowski as Sales Director, North America, and Diane Imas as Director of Marketing. Schifano is an attorney with more than 20 years of experience in market surveillance matters, most recently as Deputy General Counsel and Global Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) of Tower Research Capital in New York, along with senior regulatory roles at two global banks and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

Mikhail already has a strong track record running North American Sales in the trade surveillance space, and Diane is another great addition to the firm with her hands-on integrated marketing experience in the fintech and financial services sector. We’ve been very fortunate at a time when many companies are contracting to add significant depth to our talented team.”
Schifano said: “I met Travis and Jeff when Eventus was just starting out and have been impressed with the Validus platform from those early days. I look forward to partnering with our key client stakeholders – as a former CCO who understands their perspective – to continually assess and improve their experience, generate ideas for new functionality and products based on marketplace intelligence, and ensure we stay ahead of global regulatory developments that impact clients’ businesses.”
