Washington, DC – November 4, 2026 – Porta Strategies is proud to share that our Chief Executive Officer, Archana Bae, was recently featured on Greenberg Traurig’s Big Law Redefined: The Bottom Line podcast miniseries, where she joined attorneys Shirin Afsous and Tonya M. Esposito for a conversation on the increasingly interconnected landscape of financial crime, national security, and regulatory compliance.
During the discussion, Archana explored how anti-money laundering (AML), sanctions, export controls, fraud, and national security risks are converging in today’s global operating environment. The conversation also addressed the growing role of artificial intelligence and digital assets in both facilitating and detecting illicit activity, as well as the importance of cross-border cooperation and public-private partnerships in safeguarding the integrity of the financial system.
Drawing on her experience advising governments, financial institutions, and international organizations, Archana shared practical perspectives on strengthening risk-based compliance programs, enhancing information-sharing frameworks, and ensuring that human expertise remains central to effective compliance and risk management strategies as technology continues to evolve.
“As financial crime threats become increasingly sophisticated and interconnected, organizations must break down traditional silos and adopt a more holistic approach to risk management. Effective collaboration among regulators, law enforcement, financial institutions, and the private sector is essential to protecting financial integrity and national security.” – Archana Bae
This discussion reflects Porta Strategies’ continued commitment to advancing dialogue around financial integrity, economic security, anti-money laundering, sanctions, and emerging threats affecting governments and the private sector worldwide.
We thank Greenberg Traurig, Shirin Afsous, and Tonya M. Esposito for the opportunity to participate in this timely discussion.
