Practitioner Background
With nearly a decade of experience across the financial crime lifecycle—spanning detection, investigation, and strategic mitigation—I bring a viewpoint that bridges high-level policy with front-line reality. My approach is rooted in technical accuracy but delivered with the human empathy required when discussing financial harm.
As a fraud survivor, I offer a unique lens into the psychological impact of financial crime. This dual perspective helps organizations move beyond compliance checklists toward a genuine understanding of the 'human why' behind the numbers.
