Thanks to Jack’s teaching style, students were able to easily ask questions about quite deep issues related to risk management in the crypto area. I am looking forward to inviting Jack again to be our guest speaker in the next class to share the latest developments in the blockchain and crypto world.
Late in 2017, we set up our Remittance Company in Canada & were looking for a knowledgeable Compliance Consultant. Then by some luck we came across Jack and his firm Black Swan Diagnostics. He was very in-depth and professional in his dealing with our company. Our directors who had a lot of remittance and payments experience but did not know much about Canada’s Regulatory scene. Jack was a blessing. He guided us in building our compliance program and also guides us in case there were off hand questions on something which comes up afresh from the regulators. We also got our mandatory training on the AML & Canada Regulations from Jack. I will highly recommend Jack.

Intelligence, diligence and dedication, these are the three best words to sum up Jack Bensimon. Five years ago, Technion Canada started its Young Leadership Generation NEXT arm and Jack Bensimon was all but too happy to take the lead and recruit what is now some of our Senior Leadership and iron-clad supporters. It was inspiring to see that at our monthly gatherings we would have no less than 40 participants, mostly because of Jack’s leadership.

With Jack’s assistance and vision, we have increased our profitability by leaps and bounds as Jack recruited new and seasoned committee members which transitioned our Fund from an underperforming liability to a strong return year after year.

Jack and I have worked on a number of engagements, including most recently a securities litigation matter. Jack has the unique ability to get involved in the details of an assignment, but when required, can easily stand back and draw out the most salient issues, which are clearly articulated in a thought-provoking and concise manner. Jack objectively analyzes issues which are reconciled to his extensive knowledge of the securities industry regulatory framework, legislation, industry standards and best practices to which the matter relates; this comes from years of practical experience in the securities industry. Jack also works closely with clients to address issues relating to Anti-Money Laundering Compliance, assist with Cross-Border transactions and Corporate Governance issues.
