Jackie has more than 44 years’ experience dealing with financial crime in the banking industry. Her career launchpad was the powerful internal audit and investigative teams of world-class banks, including National Australia Bank, Bank of America and Citibank/Citigroup. In just ten years at Citigroup, Jackie progressed to become a Senior Vice President and its Head of Global Fraud Management. In that role, Jackie led Citi to an industry leading position in the field of Fraud Management, managing the rollout, through its network of Compliance Officers, of a Global Fraud Management Policy and significantly lifting fraud identification results, thereby reducing its profit-sapping business impact.

In her four years as Director of Fraud for the International markets at Payment Processor: ‘First Data’ which, as part of their suite of services, provided anti-fraud technologies, Jackie’s teams analysed the existing anti-fraud capabilities, assessed gaps and recommended cost-effective improvements. This involved mass data analysis, fraud intelligence sharing and link analysis.

Recognising the need for smart IT to magnify the power of smart people, Jackie focused on the deployment of sophisticated fraud prevention/detection software, setting the vision, and then leading the development direction, of financial crime products at Actimize; ‘future-proofing’ its product range to deal with an ever-changing fraud environment. Jackie represented the company in media interviews and industry events worldwide.

Latterly, Jackie has served as the Director of Fraud and Risk Product Management at ACI Worldwide, responsible for ensuring the financial crime solutions offered by ACI are as comfortable in the Public Cloud as they are anywhere else, and continue to lead the market.
