Jackson will be responsible for continued development of the company’s compliance and risk management framework while advancing Venture Growth Capital’ regulatory excellence as the company expands its national presence.
Jackson brings deep experience in legal, compliance, and risk functions across both traditional banking and fintech. Most recently, he was responsible for risk management at Bankwell and previously spent nearly a decade at Sterling National Bank as managing director of the Bank Secrecy Act program.

His unique blend of traditional and fintech experience equips him to navigate complex regulatory environments and implement scalable, tech-forward compliance systems.
As CCO, Jackson will report directly to John Paradisi, president and chief operating officer of Venture Growth Capital. He will oversee all aspects of compliance, risk management, and regulatory affairs. A licensed attorney in New York and New Jersey, Jackson also adds legal depth to Venture Growth Capital’ growing leadership team.

His leadership will be key as we navigate an evolving regulatory landscape and expand our services. We are confident he will help us uphold our commitment to integrity, innovation, and exceptional support for the businesses we serve,” said Paradisi.
Jackson’s appointment comes during a period of significant growth for Venture Growth Capital, as the company continues to scale operations and strengthen its market position.
