Encompass Corporation, the provider of the leading Know Your Customer (KYC) automation platform, has appointed experienced general manager and sales leader Steve Hadaway as its Chief Revenue Officer.

Hadaway takes up the newly created post after 15 years in senior management positions at analytics software company FICO, where he was responsible for overseeing relationships with its global financial services clients. Most recently, as Vice President & Managing Director, EMEA, Hadaway drove the regional strategy, leading 200 employees serving more than 50 markets worldwide.

Noted for his successful track record of achieving exceptional growth and instilling a high-performance culture within his teams, Hadaway will be a key executive figure at Encompass. He will head up its revenue-focused functions, including Direct Sales, Strategic Alliances and Marketing.

The news follows twelve months of significant growth in revenue and new accounts, including global banks, as well as the addition of specialist industry experts to the business across the UK, Europe, Asia-Pacific and the US.

Encompass also recently announced a capital raise of approximately $33m. This will be used to accelerate its international expansion plans, which have included office openings in New York and Amsterdam.
