International Women's Day Special: Compliance Meets AI with Aneta Klosek

Описание: In this episode, host Marika Torsdotter sits down with Aneta Klosek, founder of Aethea — a startup connecting compliance professionals with the right tools and preparing them for the technology of tomorrow. With over 16 years of experience in financial crime prevention, Aneta brings a rare combination of deep regulatory knowledge, sales intuition, and a genuine passion for making compliance less "dry and dusty."
Aneta's journey started in traditional banking before moving to London to join a sanctions screening startup — and from there, she was hooked. She shares what it feels like to work in a field where you're quite literally fighting criminals, why storytelling is one of the most underrated compliance skills, and what two stubborn problems have still not been solved after 15+ years: data quality and the knowledge gap.
But the conversation's standout moment? Aneta's eye-opening account of fully AI-generated investment firms — fake companies, fake employees, fake LinkedIn profiles — targeting vulnerable startup founders. A chilling reminder that while the compliance world debates AI strategy, criminals are already deploying it.
Whether you're in fintech, compliance, or just AI-curious, this episode will leave you thinking differently about trust, technology, and why "Tinder for the tech space" might just be the best elevator pitch in compliance.
