I am tasked to develop intelligence and investigate allegations against companies and individuals suspected of involvement in bribery and corruption in developing countries where the UK, through the Department for International Development (DFID) provides aid.Managing a substantial caseload, I liaise extensively and effectively with worldwide organisations and international law enforcement, establishing and driving joint investigations.

National Fraud Intelligence Bureau

I was seconded to support City of London Police NFIB (National Fraud Intelligence Bureau) on a programme to create a middle tier fraud prevention strategy. I promoted the exchange of information and sought the most effective dissemination route for fraud alerts, developing intelligence in relation to organised crime groups. I researched, developed and co-authored a ‘Fraud profile and capability assessment within the Eastern Region’ detailing the emergence of fraud committed by these groups and provided capability and strategies to deal with emerging threats.

This was a challenging role, ranging over a wide geographical area with varying law enforcement agencies, I successfully established and maintained resilient partnerships, both in the UK and abroad, securing a most effective and positive outcome.

As an experienced financial investigator, I held responsibility for the development of all cash seizures under the Proceeds of Crime Act legislation. I developed effective proactive strategies to identify suspects within an International Airport environment, resulting in further investigation leads, cash seizures and successful Forfeiture Orders.
