• Misiewicz brings 15 years of AI and ML leadership, including building fraud detection and anti-fraud systems at Yext and AppNexus, to lead Informed's next generation of AI-powered lending technology
• The appointment deepens Informed's investment in the technology behind its Fraud Data Network, built on more than 100 million documents and 2 billion data points

SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Informed, the AI-powered platform that helps lenders verify applications, detect fraud, and accelerate loan funding across auto, consumer lending and more, announced the appointment of Michael Misiewicz as Senior Vice President of AI. Misiewicz will lead Informed's AI and machine learning strategy, deepening the technology behind the company's fraud detection and document intelligence capabilities as it extends its fraud detection network into adjacent lending verticals, adding data that strengthens fraud detection for its founding auto lending client base as well.

Misiewicz brings 15 years of experience building fraud detection, document intelligence, and optimization systems for adversarial contexts. He joins Informed after leading AI and ML at Yext and anti-fraud research at AppNexus. Misiewicz holds a Master's degree in Neuroscience, Computer Science, and Cell Biology from McGill University.

"What drew me to Informed is the culture, the team is extremely analytical and quantitative, and everyone cares deeply about getting the problem right," said Misiewicz. “Anti-fraud has always been the work I find most fulfilling, and the problems Informed solves for lenders are the same ones I've spent my career on. We're in the middle of real AI diffusion across industries, and as agentic AI grows more capable, so do the adversaries using it, which makes this an especially interesting time to lead the work."

"Michael's background is a perfect match for where Informed is headed," said Daniel Sogorka, CEO of Informed. "He's spent his career building AI systems that hold up in adversarial, high-stakes environments, exactly the kind of thinking fraud detection demands. As we grow our Fraud Data Network into new verticals, his depth in fraud and document intelligence gives us a real edge. We're thrilled to have him on the team."

The appointment comes as Informed prepares to convene its first Client Advisory Board and continues to grow its Fraud Data Network into adjacent lending verticals, a network effect that benefits every lender on the platform, including the auto lenders who have partnered with Informed since day one.
