“Frank’s track record of scaling high-performance businesses in complex markets makes him a force multiplier for our Board,” said Michael Stanton, CEO of COMPLY. “His leadership comes at a pivotal moment for COMPLY as we double down on making COMPLY the regulatory compliance standard for global financial firms.”
In addition to his new role as Board Chair at COMPLY, Roe serves as Executive Chair on the board of MariaDB, a new generation cloud database company, board member at LastPass, a leading password and identity management company, and as a Strategic Board Advisor at SmartBear. He earned a Bachelor’s degree in business from the Isenberg School of Management at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. With deep experience in operational discipline, global execution, and scalable growth, Roe is well positioned to advance COMPLY’s expansion and strategic priorities.
Roe joins COMPLY as the company advances its AI strategy, focused on helping compliance professionals reduce manual effort, act on timely insights, and strengthen accountability. An advocate for the responsible use of AI in high-stakes environments, Roe has consistently emphasized the need for trust, transparency, and rigorous oversight. His perspective aligns closely with COMPLY’s mission to deliver intuitive and intelligent tools that enhance human decision-making.
“COMPLY is tackling one of the most critical challenges in financial services: helping firms navigate regulatory complexity with speed, confidence, and clarity,” said Roe. “As AI reshapes how work gets done, the winners will be those who apply it responsibly, with transparency, control, and a focus on outcomes. That’s exactly how COMPLY is approaching it, and I’m looking forward to supporting Michael and the leadership team as they set a new standard for what modern compliance should look like.”
