In the realm of risk management and fraud protection, I am a strategy driver, team builder, process elevator, and difference maker. I seamlessly step into chaotic environments and drive rapid change in order to halt monthly fines, change employee behaviors, and prep companies for IPO and expansion of their business model. I thrive in the face of a challenge and strive to partner cross-functionally in order to navigate problems and drive proactive solutions.Specialties:Global Team Leadership | Training and Staff Development | Risk Management | Trust & Safety Operations StrategyComplex Fraud Prevention | Digital Transaction Risk | Credit Card/Gift Card Fraud | Investigations Data AnalysisAccount Security/Phishing/Scams | Identity Authentication | Risk Tools and Data SourcingLeveraging a longstanding career, I build ground up fraud and risk departments that go from 0 people to teams of multiple sizes worldwide. Through the development of strict protocols to help stem losses going forward, I lead revolutionary shifts in corporate culture to avert and recover multimillion-dollar losses. With a major in criminal justice and a career spent visualizing the person on the other end of crimes such as account takeovers, digital threats, fraud, identity theft, personal safety, payment fraud, account takeovers, phishing scams, and other criminal activity, I have been able to support major enterprises that include Fox, Amazon, Bill.com, and Wells Fargo. My reputation often precedes me and I heavily recruited across diverse industries to fix problems, foster changes, and empower teams. A thought leader, I’ve spoken at industry conferences worldwide, consulted with global companies, and been sought out by Fortune 500 companies for my recommendations on how to improve their already tight security protocols to keep pace with continually evolving digital threats.
