Pete O'Brien
I spent more than a decade as the senior analyst on Worldpay's Fraud Consulting Desk - the dedicated rule-writing resource for financial institution clients ranging from community banks and credit unions to larger FIs.
Before that, four years on the issuer side at GE Consumer Finance, where I reviewed applications for fraud and identity theft across multiple private label portfolios.
That combination - processor side and issuer side - gives me a view of card fraud that most analysts working from one position don't have.
I'm now independent and available for fraud rule analysis, trend review, and SAS rule development on a fractional, project-based, or subcontract basis.

■ MY SERVICES
Fraud analysis and rule-writing, structured around how you actually work.
Available for ongoing engagements, defined projects, or subcontract work through consulting firms.
Fractional Analyst
Need ongoing fraud analysis without a full-time hire? I work with financial institutions on a part-time or as-needed basis — reviewing trends, tuning rules, and providing the kind of analytical support that keeps a fraud program running without the overhead of a dedicated staff position.

Subcontract

Project-Based
Have a specific fraud problem that needs attention? I take on defined engagements — rule reviews, trend analysis, portfolio assessments — with a clear scope and deliverable. Good fit for institutions dealing with a spike in losses or rules that haven't been reviewed in a while.
