Hawk Names Eli Chamoun President and Chief Revenue Officer

Founded in Munich in 2018, Hawk provides explainable AI technology for anti-money laundering, fraud prevention and screening at banks and payment companies. The appointment comes as financial institutions step up their use of machine learning, generative AI and agentic AI to improve crime detection and investigations, increasing demand for executives who can combine financial-crime expertise with experience scaling global enterprise-software sales.

Hawk said on July 22, 2026, that Eli Chamoun had joined as president and chief revenue officer, overseeing global revenue strategy and operations, partner relationships and the expansion of its go-to-market team. Chamoun spent 18 years at NICE Actimize, where he served as global vice president and global head of sales and managed a multi-hundred-million-dollar portfolio. He later served as chief revenue officer at risk-management platform SecurityScorecard. Hawk said the hire would support its next phase of international growth.
