BioCatch, which prevents financial crime by recognising patterns in human behavior, today announced the appointment of Andreas Dombret as a senior advisor. With more than 35 years of experience in global banking and financial regulation, Dombret brings deep expertise to support BioCatch’s plans for continued growth and innovation.
“Andreas has operated at the highest levels of financial services and financial regulation,” BioCatch CEO Gadi Mazor said. “We see his experience and perspective as invaluable additions to our team, as we continue our quest to revolutionise how the world fights fraud, scams, and financial crime.”
Dombret’s career spans senior leadership roles at Deutsche Bank, J.P. Morgan, Rothschild, and Bank of America. From 2010 to 2018, he served as a member of the executive board of Germany’s central bank, Deutsche Bundesbank, where he led bank supervision, financial stability, and market operations. During that time, he also sat on the boards of the Bank for International Settlements and the European Central Bank’s supervisory board, representing Germany at key global forums including the G7, G20, IMF, OECD, and Basel Committee.
Dombret holds both German and U.S. citizenships. He currently serves as a senior advisor to several global firms, including Permira (BioCatch’s majority stakeholder), Sumitomo Bank, Santander, Oliver Wyman, and Amazon Web Services. He earned his master’s degree from the University of Münster and his PhD from the University of Nürnberg. He teaches finance at the European Business School in Wiesbaden and is an Adjunct Senior Research Scholar at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs.
“The world today is changing faster than at any point in human history,” Dombret said. “As we watch artificial intelligence tools rapidly unravel the ways in which countless industries have functioned for generations, we must remember: Criminals, historically, are among the first to adopt new technologies like these. It is a guarantee and not a mere possibility that fraud, scams, and financial crime will continue to proliferate and evolve. Financial institutions cannot afford to merely cling tighter to the status quo. The solutions of yesterday cannot compete with the scams of the present and future. I look forward to working with the BioCatch team to help financial institutions innovate in their quest to build trust and resilience in the digital age.”
