About K2 Intelligence

K2 Integrity, formerly known as K2 Intelligence, operates as a premier global risk, compliance, and investigations firm. The company was founded in 2009 by the father-and-son team of Jules B. Kroll and Jeremy M. Kroll, opening its first office in London before establishing its headquarters in New York in January 2010. Jules Kroll is widely credited with pioneering the modern corporate investigations industry, having founded Kroll, Inc. in 1972, which he sold in 2004 for $1.9 billion. His career includes a background as an Assistant District Attorney in Manhattan and high-profile cases tracking the hidden assets of figures like Ferdinand Marcos and Saddam Hussein. Jeremy Kroll, the current CEO, brings over two decades of experience from his previous senior leadership roles at Kroll, Inc. and holds MBAs from NYU Stern, HEC Paris, and the London School of Economics.

The firm serves a diverse client base that includes financial institutions, law firms, private equity firms, government agencies, and high-net-worth individuals. Its business model centers on providing specialized advisory and consulting services to help clients manage a wide spectrum of risks, from financial and regulatory to reputational and cyber threats. Revenue is generated through fees for these professional services, which encompass investigations, due diligence, compliance, and security consulting. A significant milestone in the company's history was the 2019 merger with Financial Integrity Network (FIN), a strategic advisory firm founded by former senior officials from the White House and the U.S. Department of the Treasury. This merger enhanced K2's capabilities in financial crimes compliance and anti-money laundering, leading to its rebranding as K2 Integrity in November 2020.

K2 Integrity offers a comprehensive suite of services designed to address complex challenges. These services include forensic accounting and financial investigations to uncover fraud, corruption, and embezzlement. The firm conducts investigative due diligence, litigation support, and asset tracing across multiple jurisdictions. For private clients and family offices, it provides physical security assessments and cybersecurity services like the "Virtual Cyber HouseCall" to protect against digital and physical threats. Furthermore, K2 Integrity has deep expertise in construction and real estate integrity monitoring, having acquired Thacher Associates in 2012, and offers specialized services for the virtual asset market, including cryptocurrency compliance. The firm leverages advanced data analytics and a global team of experts—including former prosecutors, forensic accountants, and intelligence officials—to deliver its solutions.
