Brevetta brings over 18 years of experience as a lawyer and compliance professional focusing on financial services risk and regulation, Anti-Money Laundering/Combating the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) compliance, and tax information reporting and withholding.

Before joining Pragma, Brevetta was the Head of APAC Tax Reporting at a Swiss-based global bank.

At Pragma, Brevetta will take the lead by growing and overseeing Pragma's Compliance and Risk Advisory team, supporting the needs of financial services organisations, including banks, asset managers, exchanges, insurance companies, and fintech companies.

"In just five years, Pragma's Cyber Regulatory Risk work has accelerated tremendously, and having that additional depth and perspective in compliance advice for our global clients involved in adhering to technology risk requirements will be a major advantage for them in an increasingly complex and dynamic legal and regulatory landscape," said Pragma Co-Founder Manish Chawda.

"Joining the leadership team at Pragma is an excellent opportunity to leverage my experience to support an organisation that is truly changing the cybersecurity space as it expands its compliance and regulatory risk advisory service offerings," said Brevetta.
