      As the co-founder of XTND, a forensic services firm specializing in white-collar anti-fraud investigations, high-risk insurance claims investigations, own IP insurance risk mitigation systems, Big Data Analytics and Cyber Security services, my mandate is to identify technology that supports forensic investigations and build bespoke solutions. I am a specialist in operational strategies, and a certified fraud examiner who aims to lead through the input and participation of my peers and colleagues. I enjoy belonging to a community of people with the same mindset and views regarding fighting fraud and corruption. My personal philosophy is that if we can make progress in small steps and lead by example over a long enough period, those around us will automatically benefit.My progressive experience in diverse financial industry verticals globally, empowered me to play a significant role in establishing XTND in 2010. Because I am passionate about innovating new solutions and creating something from nothing for the benefit of the industry, I use my industry experience to focus my efforts on working with high-growth businesses in the technology space. I am conscientious and persistent, and methodically see all tasks and projects through to the end. I am enthusiastic about people development, and believe every individual is valuable enough to listen to. My colleagues describe me as a steadfast, dependable, disciplined and loyal business partner.
