Data Knows Best: Why Good Compliance AI Starts With Good Data, with Parsa Ghaffari of Quantexa

BCG on Compliance

Parsa Ghaffari is the Head of Product Innovation at Quantexa, where he focuses on enhancing their Decision Intelligence platform to harness the power of both structured and unstructured data. Quantexa's platform is designed to help organizations uncover hidden risks and new opportunities by providing a unified view of data, enabling better decision-making across various industries, including financial services, telecommunications, and government. This role follows Quantexa's acquisition of Aylien, a company Parsa founded, which specialized in natural language processing (NLP) and AI-driven market intelligence solutions.

Parsa founded Aylien straight out of university, leveraging his passion for coding that started at the age of 8. The acquisition of Aylien by Quantexa allows for the integration of Aylien’s NLP capabilities within Quantexa’s platform, creating a powerful tool that brings together structured and unstructured data for comprehensive decision-making solutions​.

We’ll also look at the pace of technology change versus the sluggishness of regulatory bodies, and what leaders can do to ensure their organizations are ready to make the most of the industry’s latest developments.
