Tom Keatinge is Director of the Centre for Financial Crime & Security Studies at The Royal United Services Institute (RUSI).
Prior to joining RUSI, until February 2014 Tom Keatinge spent 20 years in investment banking at J.P. Morgan.
Tom's research focuses on the nexus between 'Finance & Security', in particular the funding of terrorist/extremist groups and assessing the extent to which disrupting financing can enhance international security. He also studies the use of FININT as a security tool; enhancing security via public/private partnerships; the impact of counter-terror finance regimes on financial access; the use and effectiveness of financial sanctions; terrorist/insurgent use of kidnap-for-ransom, and the growing issue of illicit wildlife trade/security.
He holds a Masters in Intelligence & International Security from King's College London, where he wrote his dissertation on the effectiveness and consequences of the global counter-terror finance (CTF) regime.
