About
ABOUT ME
Global Expertise. Proven Integrity.
I’ve worked for over two decades in roles that demand clarity, discretion, and sound judgment, beginning in finance and risk management and, for the past seven years, focused on fraud and corruption investigations in humanitarian and development contexts. My work involves case assessment, field interviews, document review, and supporting organisations as they respond to misconduct under donor and institutional pressure.
I hold Master’s degrees in Accounting & Financial Analysis and in Anti-Corruption Studies. I serve on the ACFE Exam Development Committee, where I help write the exam used to certify future fraud examiners. My graduate research, which explored long-term impacts of integrity education, was awarded Most Innovative Thesis in my graduating class.
RISK & RESILIENCE
From Finance to Field
My early career focused on strengthening internal controls, reviewing financial processes, and understanding how risks develop inside organisations. These experiences shaped my ability to investigate misconduct with both a technical lens and a systems perspective. I learned how fraud evolves when pressure, access, and justification converge, and how small oversights can escalate into institutional failures.
Over time, I moved into roles that required direct investigative support. I’ve reviewed procurement schemes, traced misused funds, conducted field interviews, and produced findings that withstand scrutiny. In one context, I was responsible for building an investigations function from the ground up. In others, I’ve supported the refinement of fraud and corruption response mechanisms for organizations operating in fragile settings. That early foundation now informs a rigorous and adaptive investigative approach.
INVESTIGATIONS IN PRACTICE
Complex Contexts. Measurable Impact.
My field presence is strong. I’ve led investigations as mission leader during extended on-the-ground deployments in Afghanistan and Nigeria, backed by current Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT) certification for conflict zone readiness. I have also conducted cases in Myanmar, Ukraine, Yemen, and the Democratic Republic of Congo requiring advanced investigative techniques and adaptation to restricted-access environments.
I also contribute across the broader investigative cycle, from planning and evidence collection to oversight and governance design. Examples include:
-
Leading high-stakes procurement fraud investigations and forensic document reviews
-
Training investigative teams in Jordan and third-party monitors in Syria
-
Supporting oversight bodies on sensitive cases with global visibility
-
Designing governance systems to prevent misconduct during rapid scale-ups and crisis response
Each assignment is shaped by its context, but always grounded in practical tools and sound judgment.
MISSION-DRIVEN WORK
I work with organisations whose missions matter
Protecting resources intended for the most vulnerable, safeguarding reputations in times of crisis, and ensuring integrity where stakes are highest. My clients include humanitarian, development, and global health organisations, as well as oversight bodies and international financial institutions. They call on me when the environment is complex and the outcome must stand up to the highest scrutiny.
What You Can Expect
I bring a steady hand to high-stakes environments. My clients rely on me for sharp analysis, discretion, and follow-through. Whether I’m leading an investigation, advising senior teams, or training others to spot red flags, I work with clarity and purpose.
You can expect:
-
Direct communication and grounded recommendations
-
A nuanced understanding of institutional pressures and donor realities
-
Strategic support for sensitive or time-critical assignments
-
Alignment with mission-driven values and ethical practice
-
Professionalism that respects your team’s time and objectives
I don’t overcomplicate. I get the work done with precision and integrity.
