Leader of the Account Opening, Credit, 1st, and 3rd Party Fraud data science team for Capital One’s Retail Bank division with leadership responsibilities to develop and implement machine learning products. These include real time predictive models that touch most customer experiences: when someone applies for an account, deposits money, overdrafts, or if they are a victim of account theft. The role requires a balance of managerial oversight and detailed technical review of modeling work to ensure these products are built according to high regulatory standards. My leadership style empowers team members to creatively express themselves through problem solving and original ideas to drive their growth, purpose, mastery, and autonomy. The overarching business purpose we then serve is to reduce the cost of fraud while improving the customer experience, allowing us to make our products better and offer them to more people at a lower expense.
