TD International

What TD International does

TD International (TDI) is a Washington, DC-based strategic advisory and risk intelligence firm founded in 1999 that helps multinational corporations, private equity firms, and financial institutions manage political, regulatory, and reputational risk across global operations. The firm operates a hybrid professional-services-plus-software model: its advisory practice spans strategic advisory, complex investigations, due diligence, compliance programs, and litigation support (via sub-brands TDI Compliance and TDI Capital Advisors), while its software suite centers on TDI Diligence Suite, a cloud-based third-party risk management platform with three modules (Relationship Manager, Screening & Monitoring, Diligence Ordering), and TDI Regulation Navigator, an AI-enabled regulatory intelligence platform. Revenue is generated through enterprise engagements with quote-based pricing and through software subscriptions; the firm runs direct enterprise field sales with significant senior-leadership involvement in business development, complemented by an event-driven marketing motion centered on FCPA, SCCE, TPRA, and pharmaceutical compliance conferences.

TDI's core differentiation rests on a talent bench drawn heavily from former US government roles (FBI, State Department, NSC) and on a proprietary data footprint covering 1,100+ global sanctions/watch lists, 1.9+ million PEPs, and 3+ billion media articles used for screening and monitoring. The firm operates from four offices (Washington DC, Houston, Dubai, Zurich) and serves clients across six continents, with named engagements spanning financial services, healthcare and life sciences, energy, mining, private equity, and consumer electronics. The business has remained bootstrapped over its 25-year history with no disclosed external funding, and entered a notable leadership transition in October 2024 with the appointment of former diplomat Jay Truesdale as CEO.
