Summary

With 15 years of experience in researching, collecting, and configuring data from multiple sources and systems, I have developed the ability to prepare detailed reporting, dashboards, and ad hoc reports for senior management. My expertise lies in interpreting data and drawing meaningful conclusions for insightful reporting. I am knowledgeable about specific sites and have hands-on experience with report automations. Leveraging excellent computer, communication, and organizational skills, along with exceptional customer service, I consistently make recommendations to streamline procedures and processes. As the Independent Fraud Risk Vice President reporting into the Head of ORM Framework as part of the Operational Risk Management function, I provide oversight of MUAH and MUFG Bank US fraud risk programs. This includes conducting fraud risk assessment reviews or challenge routines, generating aggregated risk reporting, approving fraud for new products, ensuring performance adheres to approved risk appetite, and providing industry guidance on emerging threats and trends. Additionally, I serve as the second line of defense against fraud risk activities. Throughout my career, I have demonstrated transformative leadership through effective risk mitigation and increased account completion validation rates. With over 15 years of progressive experience in business recovery planning (BRP), business continuity & sustainability, business impact analysis (BIA), business process mapping, and risk analysis and mitigation, I prioritize effective client/customer relationship management and cultivate strong internal and external partner relationships.
