Purpose Driven. Trustworthy. Respectful.These are the values that guide my daily work and inspired me to join the team at Western Union.As a leading fintech, Western Union’s team of 10,000 people in 200 countries provides financial services forfamilies, small businesses, multinational corporations, and non-profit organizations. And my team and I workeach day to ensure that those services are provided without the threat of fraud.WHAT I BRING TO THE TEAM StructureFor fraud detection and AML compliance, a robust program of checks and balances is critical. I establishstructure to ensure that all of my team members are on the same page for effective monitoring, detection,analysis, and mitigation. AccountabilityWhile holding employees accountable for their performance can be a touchy subject, I believe that allaccountability starts with me. Holding myself to the same – or higher standards – as my employees sets thefoundation for attention to detail, owning your mistakes, and taking appropriate action in a timely manner. DisciplineRather than a punishment, I see discipline as a practice of training my teams. Like accountability, the practiceof discipline starts with me – I establish the model through my actions and attitude. Next, I ensure thatindividuals on my teams have the training, tools, and support they need for optimal performance, becausewithout that I cannot expect commitment to their roles. A disciplined team requires little interference fromthe leader because they understand what it takes to achieve a goal, complete a project, or solve a problem.Structure, accountability, and discipline ensure that resources are not wasted so that potential fraud can beidentified, monitored, and mitigated.SELECTED ACCOMPLISHMENTS By realigning tasks and responsibilities, I reduced the compliance backlog by 44%. I was twice selected to turn around banking operations following failed compliance audits. With experience spanning regional and national banks, I was asked to support the implementation of aspecialized fraud detection program.SKILLS & SPECIALTIESCompliance Management • Fraud Detection • Auditing/Treasury Services • BSA / AML / OFAC • USA PatriotAct • Risk Analysis & Management • Suspicious Activity Reports • Due Diligence • Regulatory Reporting •Strategic and Tactical Planning • Operations Management • Team Building & Leadership • Client RelationshipManagement • Cross-Departmental Communication • Project/Program Management • Time & ResourceManagement • iWatch • AS400
