Welcome to my online portfolio. I hope you find this format easy to navigate. My goal is to provide you a snapshot of my skills,experience,and accomplishments,and to illustrate the value I can offer your organization. I look forward to talking with you about how I can help your organization succeed.
My background as an investigator…
Since 1995,I have held a number of positions involving investigations in a corporate setting for a large,Atlanta,Georgia based telecommunications company. These investigations —some of which have been of a highly sensitive nature and involved senior managers —revolved around issues such as fraud,theft,FMLA and Workman’s Compensation abuse,conflicts of interest,workplace violence,criminal activity,internet misuse,drug abuse,falsification of records,and others. Geographically,my investigations have taken me to several U.S. states,the Caribbean,and Latin America. My ability to fluently speak and write Spanish has allowed me the flexibility to conduct investigations across international lines. Additionally,my M.I.S. background has afforded me the ability to conduct computer forensics myself using tools such as Encase and FTK.
About my loss prevention experience…
My experience with loss prevention spans both industrial sites and retail locations. I have successfully implemented measures to mitigate loss prevention risks at sites such as stores,garages,central offices,administrative facilities,and work centers. I’ve employed both traditional solutions,as well as technology solutions such as IP cameras,3G IP cameras,and monitored cameras with analytics. These measures have proven effective as a deterrent as well as a tool to apprehend intruders and gather evidence for prosecution. I have built a deep network of law enforcement contacts in the Atlanta,Georgia metro area,which has been very beneficial in my lost prevention efforts.
A glimpse of my supervisory skills…
I have successfully managed both union and management employees. While managing union employees,my group consistently led our unit in results. As a supervisor of management employees,I fostered an atmosphere of empowerment and teamwork. I trained those under me to perform tasks they had previously not been able to perform,which gave them a sense of accomplishment and greater job satisfaction. I transformed a diverse team of Security Directors and Managers in Latin America from a loosely-affiliated group who did not communicate with each other to a cohesive team who shared ideas and regularly counted on each other to accomplish our goals. In my most recent position,I regularly “relieved,”or filled in for my Director in his absence,and was atop the “succession planning”list to replace my Director. My duties included supervision of investigators,assignment of investigations,providing direction on investigative steps,reviewing and editing investigative reports,and representing the organization in cross-functional meetings.
My ethics and compliance experience…
In my role as Ethics &Compliance Manager,I focused largely on employee education by providing advice on ethical questions and developing a program to educate employees on ethical issues. I also ensured reported ethical breaches were properly investigated and satisfactorily addressed. The advice and education I provided helped ensure employees were in compliance with company policy and the law.
Representing my employer…
Countless times I represented my employer in court. I have testified in courts ranging from municipal courts in the Atlanta,Georgia metro area to Federal courts throughout the Southeast. I have also testified in unemployment hearings,and in arbitration hearings. The accuracy and completeness of my investigations,and my commitment to preparation for my testimony,resulted in the company prevailing in the vast majority of cases in which I testified.
