LegitScript Strengthens Executive Team Amid Surging Demand for AI-Powered Merchant and Platform Risk Management Solutions

Seasoned Chief Financial Officer, Chief Revenue Officer, and Chief Product and Technology Officer bring extensive technology and growth expertise to accelerate company innovation

LegitScript, the leader in AI-powered Merchant and Platform Risk Management and Global Certifications for payments companies, e-commerce marketplaces, and online advertising and social media platforms, today announced the appointment of three senior executives to its leadership team: Jaylene Kunze as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Chris Riggio as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO), and Tom Cook as Chief Product and Technology Officer (CPTO).

These appointments mark a significant milestone in LegitScript’s growth trajectory, bringing together seasoned leaders with deep expertise across technology, fintech, and compliance. With more than five decades of combined experience across multiple Fortune-ranked, publicly traded, and award-winning organizations, these executive additions will support the company’s rapid scaling and continued innovation, particularly in advancing the capabilities of its recently launched Xray AI Risk Intelligence Platform.

“We are thrilled to welcome these accomplished leaders, innovators, and visionaries to LegitScript,” said Scott Roth, LegitScript’s chief executive officer. “As regulatory demands grow more complex, their considerable experience and leadership will strengthen our ability to deliver real-time risk intelligence at scale and empower our clients to stay ahead of emerging threats.”

Meet the New Executives

CFO Jaylene Kunze brings over two decades of financial and operational leadership, helping high-growth software companies scale efficiently and strategically through both organic and inorganic growth. Before joining LegitScript, she held leadership roles at Hexure, Uplight, and MWH Global, and she began her career in public accounting at Deloitte. Jaylene's extensive experience leading companies through times of high growth and transformation will be instrumental as she leads LegitScript's finance, accounting, legal, compliance and IT teams, positioning the company for sustainable, long-term growth.

Chris Riggio, CRO, possesses more than 25 years of fintech and software industry experience driving revenue, strategy, and sales execution at companies such as Confluence, Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS), and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE). As LegitScript continues to expand globally, Chris brings a strategic, cross-functional approach to revenue acceleration and will oversee go-to-market initiatives and ensure alignment and agility across Enterprise sales, marketing, enablement, and customer success teams.

Tom Cook, CPTO, brings over 30 years of customer-centric product development leadership to LegitScript’s product and engineering teams. He will spearhead the development of innovative solutions to address evolving compliance challenges and to combat fraud. Tom previously served as an operating executive at Elliott Investment Management and held senior leadership roles at Datto, Viewpoint Construction Software, and Ixia. Tom’s strong background in product development processes and achieving product-market fit will be vital as LegitScript evolves its solutions and offerings.

A Vision for the Future

The new executive team arrives at a pivotal moment for LegitScript’s growth trajectory, following the launch of its AI-powered Xray platform. Designed to give acquiring banks, payment service providers, and online marketplaces real-time insights into merchant and product risk, Xray helps organizations make faster, more informed decisions amid increasingly complex regulatory challenges.

“As we evolve our platform and expand into new markets, having the right leadership in place is essential to delivering on our long-term strategy,” added Roth. “Jaylene, Chris, and Tom bring a unique combination of operational excellence, market insight, and technical vision that will help LegitScript scale with purpose and continue setting the global standard in risk and compliance intelligence.”
