• Direct ownership of F500-scale fraud detection programs, investigation caseloads, or transaction monitoring systems.

• Apply enterprise fraud detection methodologies (rules-based and ML-driven detection models, network/link analysis, KYC/AML frameworks, BSA compliance) and produce reference investigation reports, risk models, and executive-level fraud narratives.
