Amber D. Scott, MBA, CIPPC, CBP, CAMS

Amber is a compliance geek with a passion for technology.

After graduating from the University of Waterloo with a BA, Amber joined the compliance group 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. Somewhere along the line, she added MBA and a few other letters after her name, and was bitten by the consulting bug. She joined a boutique compliance consulting firm, as well as a larger consulting firm, before launching Outlier Solutions Inc. (Outlier) in 2013. Outlier specializes in anti money laundering (AML) and counter terrorist financing (CTF), and privacy compliance.
