I was very fortunate to see Alex at the 2023 Counter Fraud conference, where he captivated the audience with his talk on how fraud could be combated by eliminating mule accounts. He’s now using his life experiences for good, educating the public and private sector and leading the industry to better detect and deter Financial Crime. His insights are unique. He teaches what operational experience alone can’t. To prevent Financial Crime, you need to know how a criminal thinks, assess vulnerabilities and then build your defences. This is where Alex’s background can offer unparalleled learnings.
