David M. Hunter

I have 30+ years of experience in regulatory compliance and anti-money laundering, specializing in advisory and consulting services for financial institutions. I bring a unique, balanced perspective shaped by extensive service as both a regulator and a consultant, enabling clients to navigate complex regulatory environments and strengthen their compliance frameworks.

As a regulatory examiner my experience encompasses roles at two federal banking agencies: the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia. In addition, I held a senior leadership position at the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), where I most recently served as Deputy Superintendent for Limited Purpose Trust Companies (LPTCs). In this capacity, I oversaw examination strategy, governance reviews, and compliance operations for both traditional and virtual currency LPTCs, and advised the NYDFS Virtual Currency Unit, contributing to policy development for fintech and digital asset firms.

In the consulting sector, I have been affiliated with global firms such as Promontory Financial Group and BlackRock Financial Markets Advisory. At Promontory, I led teams advising foreign and domestic financial institutions on compliance management, remediation, and regulatory readiness, resulting in significant enhancements to clients’ compliance frameworks. At BlackRock, I developed and delivered training on anti-money laundering (AML), sanctions, and consumer protection, strengthening the institution’s consumer and AML compliance programs.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to balanced, risk-based strategies that help institutions meet evolving regulatory expectations and fortify their compliance programs.
