Diary of a First Time Fraud Leader
Diary of a First-Time Fraud Leader is for fraud experts and leaders who want to build successful careers in fraud prevention but feel stuck navigating the challenges of leadership.

Most fraud experts focus on solving day-to-day problems, not scaling their influence.
As a result, they end up burnt out from constantly putting out fires, frustrated at being overlooked for promotions, and stuck in roles that don’t challenge or fulfill them.
But after more than 10 years of building fraud teams, fraud platforms, and fraud strategies, I discovered that the key to a successful fraud leadership career isn’t just solving fraud problems. It’s learning how to lead and influence across your organization.
So, if you want to become a strategic fraud leader but feel like you’re constantly buried in the weeds, then this newsletter is for you.
Hi! I'm Brian.
And I’ve spent the past decade working in fraud prevention.
Along the way, I’ve built three fraud teams from scratch, helped design a fraud platform from the ground up, and worked with countless fraud experts to solve hard problems and grow their careers.
I started this newsletter because, like you, I know what it feels like to be stuck in the weeds, wondering how to take the next step in your career.
Now, I’m sharing everything I’ve learned with you.

What you'll get:
Every Friday, I send one issue designed to help you grow your career in fraud leadership without feeling overwhelmed.
You’ll stop second-guessing your next move. You’ll stop feeling stuck in the weeds. And you’ll stop wondering if your work is being undervalued.
Each issue is quick to read (5 minutes or less) and gives you practical, tailored advice you can use immediately.
These aren’t generic leadership tips. They’re built specifically for fraud experts like you, based on real-life lessons from my career.
Here’s what you can expect:
You’ll get real-life frameworks that help you make better decisions and handle fraud challenges with confidence.
You’ll learn from my own mistakes, so you can avoid the same pitfalls.
You’ll receive practical advice that’s specific to fraud, not vague leadership clichés.
I cover topics like:
Building strategic influence.
Scaling fraud teams and programs.
Aligning fraud prevention with business goals.
Each issue is conversational, relatable, and easy to apply. You’ll walk away with insights, tools, and clarity without feeling overwhelmed.
My goal is simple: for every issue to include at least one idea or lesson that helps you move your career forward.
And my promise is to deliver real, actionable value, because I know how tough this field can be when you don’t have the right guidance or support.
