His addition to K2 reflects our commitment to provide clients with a unique combination of the best in human intelligence and the most advanced AI-enabled systems to address the challenges of a rapidly evolving and increasingly complex risk landscape.”

Michael Kallabat has joined this cohort, and will now serve internationally, as the firm’s chief of investigations and disputes. This work will see him oversee a team of other specialists, working to create risk management strategies related to business disputes, cross-border fraud, bribery and corruption investigations, and other complex matters.
Kallabat brings nearly two decades of experience advising organisations on fraud risk program design, third-party anti-bribery and anti-corruption screening, and crisis and business continuity planning.

He is a graduate of Georgetown University.
He noted, “I’m thrilled to be joining K2 at such a pivotal moment in its evolution, as the company continues to expand its services and capabilities for clients through the recent acquisitions of Leviathan and RiskFront AI. I’m excited to contribute to K2’s journey as it embraces change, technology, and AI to build for the future.”
