Yinglian Xie & Fang Yu
Co-founders of DataVisor
Yinglian Xie and Fang Yu are the co-founders of DataVisor, a leading AI-powered fraud detection and anti-money laundering platform. Both are former Microsoft Research scientists who brought deep expertise in large-scale data analysis and machine learning to the fight against financial crime.
DataVisor's core innovation is its unsupervised machine learning engine, which can detect previously unknown fraud patterns without relying on historical labels or pre-defined rules. This is a critical advantage because traditional fraud detection systems can only catch known attack patterns, while DataVisor can identify novel, coordinated fraud campaigns in real-time.
The company serves major banks, fintech companies, social media platforms, and e-commerce marketplaces. Its AI analyzes billions of transactions and user events to detect fraud rings, account takeover attacks, fake account creation, and money laundering schemes.
Xie serves as CEO and Yu as CTO, bringing complementary expertise in machine learning systems and security.
