Sanctuary Wealth has appointed Miles Edwards as chief compliance officer and general counsel.

Edwards is a member of FINRA’s New York City regional committee and InfraGard, the partnership between the FBI and members of the private sector for the protection of US critical infrastructure.

“We operate in a highly-regulated industry and approach our legal and regulatory obligations with the utmost seriousness,” Jim Dickson, CEO and founder of Sanctuary Wealth, said.

“Miles is a highly-respected professional who brings a wide range of experience and knowledge to this role at Sanctuary.”

Prior to Sanctuary, Edwards acted as general counsel and chief compliance officer for a “very large family office” and was responsible for the compliance and legal oversight of its registered investment advisor and broker-dealer.

He is a panelist, author and lecturer on compliance and regulation in the US and globally. He graduated from Syracuse University and received a law degree from the Catholic University in addition to holding several FINRA registrations.
