Who we are
finINTELSolutions was founded by Robert Maxwell in 2014. After spending over twenty-five years working in European capital markets as a financial analyst and portfolio manager, he shifted his focus across to the potential use of OSINT techniques in the financial services sector, specialising in monitoring FCPA and OFAC cases and in building out systems to ingest, filter and distribute relevant content for clients.
Robert now splits his time between running an undergraduate degree in Cyber Security Management in Madrid, undertaking enhanced due diligence cases for clients and training banks and regulators on adopting OSINT methods and techniques for their KYC and FinCrim units. Amongst his clients are the Bank of Spain’s FIU ‘SEPBLAC’, the SFC in Hong Kong, Santander UK, Lloyds Banking Group, Standard Bank, Repsol, Arcano, FTI Consulting, K2 Intelligence and Telefonica.
His academic contributions are notable; beyond his university teaching, he has also authored the JANES Tradecraft 204: Open Source Financial Intelligence course and several books (COMPLETE). Through these roles, he has shaped the next generation of financial intelligence professionals.
Under Robert's leadership, finINTELSolutions specialises in Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) investigations and training, focusing on Financial Crime and Enhanced Due Diligence. Our approach mirrors digital archaeology, meticulously analysing data to uncover significant patterns and trends across complex financial landscapes. We provide precise, reliable intelligence and effective training, ensuring our clients are equipped with the necessary tools and knowledge to navigate the challenges of financial investigation confidently.
