About us

The founders' story

Consilient was founded to transform how the world prevents financial crime. Our founders Gary Shiffman (Giant Oak, Inc.) and Juan Zarate (K2 Integrity) saw a clear need for evolution in the fight against money laundering and financial crime, finding current methods outdated and ineffective.
