About.
"Since our inception, Phoenix Compliance has been totally
focused on building a stellar reputation for our clients in the regulatory community."

He oversaw the examinations of some of the world’s largest investment banks, including: JP Morgan Chase Investment Division, UBS Domestic Investment Division and UBS International (Puerto Rico).
