What I'm looking for

I seek a senior fraud or risk role where I can lead teams, optimize fraud operations, and protect revenue while fostering cross-functional collaboration.

I am an experienced fraud prevention leader with a proven track record managing high-performing teams, mitigating transactional risk, and optimizing fraud operations in fast-paced environments.

I have led teams of 30+ analysts, overseen performance and development for more than 10 direct reports, and served as a subject matter expert on complex investigations including high-value transactions and suspected money laundering.

I excel at training and onboarding, cross-functional collaboration, process optimization, and using investigative tools to protect revenue while preserving customer experience.
