Ryan Larson ^{Ultimate Decision-Maker}

Director of Fraud Risk Management at Bank of Montreal

Current Job Duration: 4 yrs 4 mos (until March 2026)

HEADLINE:
Director of Fraud Risk Management - BMO Financial Group

PERSONAL SUMMARY:
I help organizations stay one step ahead of fraud.

With 15+ years leading fraud risk management, compliance, and financial crimes programs at global institutions like BMO, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan, I’ve built enterprise fraud strategies that reduced exposure, closed regulatory findings, and safeguarded billions in assets.
Highlights of my career include:
$16.3B acquisition integration – led fraud risk due diligence and post-acquisition program alignment at BMO.

Digital fraud strategy at scale – designed fraud/CIP policies for Goldman Sachs’ flagship retail platforms (Marcus Invest, United Capital, Directed Share Program).

Regulatory remediation – successfully managed and closed multiple CFPB MRAs, restoring examiner confidence.

Team leadership – grew and developed fraud, compliance, and investigations teams, embedding best practices across business lines.

What sets me apart is my ability to blend strategic oversight with hands-on execution — working with regulators, executives, technologists, and investigators alike. I’m passionate about using AI/ML fraud detection, digital banking innovation, and cross-border risk management to protect customer trust while enabling business growth.

I hold an MBA, a CFE credential, and will soon complete a master’s in Cybersecurity. Beyond financial services, my skills in risk governance, compliance leadership, and fraud prevention frameworks are highly transferable to industries facing emerging fraud threats in payments, fintech, crypto, and digital platforms.

'Always open to connecting with peers, leaders, and opportunities where fraud prevention and trust are mission-critical.
