Jan Larsen Joins ValidMind as Chief Revenue Officer to Drive Next Phase of Growth
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ValidMind, the leading platform for model risk management and AI governance, is proud to announce that Jan Larsen has joined the company as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO). Larsen, who previously served on ValidMind's Advisory Board, brings a distinguished track record in capital markets, credit, model development, and enterprise risk solutions to the company's leadership team.
Larsen was formerly the President and Head of CRISIL Integral IQ (formerly Global Research & Risk Solutions), where he led enterprise-wide efforts to deliver cutting-edge analytics and risk solutions to financial institutions globally. His appointment marks a strategic move for ValidMind as the company scales to meet the growing demand for technology-driven risk management solutions across banking, insurance, and asset management.
'I got a demo of the ValidMind platform and was immediately impressed,' said Larsen. 'Model validation is a huge cost driver for financial institutions. ValidMind's AI-native solution addresses this challenge head-on by making validation more objective, consistent, and less error-prone—while significantly reducing both cost and risk.'
Larsen's decision to move from the Advisory Board to a full-time executive role reflects his strong conviction in ValidMind's mission to modernize how financial institutions govern and validate risk and AI models.
'The traditional paradigm of annual model reviews just doesn't cut it anymore,' Larsen explained. 'With AI accelerating the model development cycle, institutions need continuous validation capabilities to manage risk effectively. ValidMind is the tech-forward solution that enables this new reality.'
Larsen also highlighted the growing relevance of model risk management outside of traditional banking. 'As businesses of all types accelerate deployment of AI to automate and improve their operations, AI governance and model risk management will become a core function spanning across all industries,' he noted. 'The need for streamlined and automated solutions to enable these critical activities has never been more acute.'
As CRO, Larsen will lead ValidMind's global revenue strategy, working closely with the go-to-market, product, and customer success teams to deliver scalable value to clients navigating the evolving regulatory and risk landscape.
'Jan's leadership and depth of experience in risk and analytics are invaluable as we expand our footprint,' said Jonas Jacobi, CEO of ValidMind. 'His vision for a faster, smarter, and safer model validation lifecycle aligns perfectly with our mission. We're thrilled to welcome him to the executive team.'

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP reminds investors of the upcoming July 22, 2025 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Red Cat Holdings, Inc.

IF YOU SUFFERED A LOSS ON YOUR RED CAT INVESTMENTS, CLICK HERE TO INQUIRE ABOUT POTENTIALLY PURSUING CLAIMS TO RECOVER YOUR LOSS UNDER THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS. What Happened? In March 2022, Red Cat announced that its subsidiary Teal Drones, Inc. ('Teal') had been selected to compete in Tranche 2 of the U.S. Army's Short Range Reconnaissance Program of Record (the 'SRR Program'). On July 27, 2023, Red Cat released its fiscal year 2023 financial results and revealed that its Salt Lake City Facility could only produce 100 drones per month and that construction of the facility was only 'substantially completed' and, while it could potentially reach a production capacity of one thousand drones per month over the next two to three years, it would require additional capital investments. On this news, Red Cat's stock price fell $0.10, or 8.9%, to close at $1.02 per share on July 28, 2023, thereby injuring investors. Then, on September 23, 2024, Red Cat released its first quarter fiscal 2025 financial results, missing consensus estimates and disclosing that it had spent 'the past four months . . . retooling [the Salt Lake City Facility] and preparing for high volume production[,]' while admitting that a 'pause in manufacturing of Teal 2 and building our Army prototypes impacted Teal 2 sales' because it 'couldn't produce and sell Teal 2 units while retooling [its] factory.' On this news, Red Cat's stock price fell $0.80, or 25.3%, over two consecutive trading days to close at $2.36 per share on September 25, 2024. Then, on November 19, 2024, Red Cat announced that it had won the SRR contract, stating that it was worth potentially hundreds of millions of dollars. However, on January 16, 2025, Kerrisdale Capital published a report alleging, among other things, that Red Cat had overstated that value of the SRR Contract and that it was worth approximately $20-25 million, based on U.S. Army budget documents. On this news, Red Cat's stock price fell $2.35, or 21.5%, over two consecutive trading days to close at $8.56 per share on January 17, 2025, thereby injuring investors further. What Is The Lawsuit About? The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) the Salt Lake City Facility's production capacity, and Defendants' progress in developing the same, was overstated; (2) the overall value of the SRR Contract was overstated; and (3) as a result, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
