Built from years of Advisory
Citadel Labs was born from a decade of frontline advisory experience. After years of leading G-SIB regulatory transformation programs and watching compliance teams across major banks struggle with fragmented, reactive intelligence, I knew there had to be a better way.
From the trading floor at HBL to the war rooms of Big Four consulting engagements, the pattern was always the same: talented professionals drowning in manual monitoring, chasing regulatory updates across dozens of sources, and lacking the tools to connect change to action.
Based in Toronto, Canada, we're building SignalSift OS—an agentic operating system that watches trusted sources, detects material change, explains impact with evidence, and routes actions to where your team works.
"I built what I wished existed for all my clients—a system that cuts through noise and delivers verified signal."
