Amber D. Scott, MBA, CBP, CIPP, CAMS, FIS is the Co-Founder, Chairperson, and Strategic Advisor at Outlier Compliance Group. Amber is a compliance geek with a passion for technology. After graduating from the University of Waterloo, Amber joined the compliance team at one of Canada’s largest insurers where she focused on the implementation of technology-based processes to streamline compliance. She has since worked in in-house roles with major securities firms, and banks. She holds several professional designations and is a current doctoral candidate with a research focus on the effects of anti-money laundering (AML) legislation on illicit virtual asset flows. In 2013, Amber co-founded Outlier, a Canadian compliance consultancy specializing in AML, privacy, and regulatory compliance. The company is based on one of the premises of Malcolm Gladwell's book Outliers: that to excel at something, one requires significant practice (roughly 10,000 hours). Each of Outlier's team members has 10,000 hours or more of in-house compliance experience. After acting as the CEO for a decade, Amber moved to the role of Chairperson of the Board of Directors, and Strategic Advisor in August of 2024. More at https://www.outliercanada.com/
