Cory Palmer
@corypalmer
I investigate fraud claims, reduce losses, and strengthen compliance-driven operations.
What I'm looking for
At Wells Fargo, I mitigated over $1M in potential losses across 2,000+ claims in six months by investigating transactions, validating claim eligibility, and applying Regulation E requirements. I review high-volume fraud activity, document complex case findings, and use Excel reporting to identify trends and support decisions.
I've also led inventory operations at Optum, reducing inventory loss from 40% to 8% in three weeks, while training teams and improving controls. Across healthcare, logistics, retail, and technical support, I bring practical experience in compliance, workflow improvement, customer issue resolution, and team leadership.
