“Ethixbase360 is at an inflection point in a rapidly evolving regulatory and compliance environment. Companies have a responsibility to rebalance the imbalance in our world.

“I want to take this opportunity to congratulate Leas for the phenomenal growth journey he’s taken Ethixbase360 on since 2014. I want to congratulate the Ethixbase360 team on their innovation, commitment, and passion for creating a market-leading proposition. Being part of a team that is passionate about addressing human trafficking, modern slavery, and corruption is incredibly meaningful and I’m excited to lead Ethixbase360 through this next phase.” – Peter Sweetbaum, Chief Executive Officer for Ethixbase360
