#91 Advanced Fraud Solutions Leadership with Ted Josephson Pt.1

Описание: What is up fraud fighters and welcome to Fraud Forward.

In this episode we sit down with Ted Josephson, VP of Bank Fraud and Credit Strategy at Synchrony Financial, to talk about what advanced fraud solutions leadership really looks like when fraud prevention moves beyond reacting to threats and becomes part of enterprise strategy.

Ted’s path into the fraud space did not start in a fraud department. It started in banking operations working branches, call centers, and digital systems. That kind of experience shapes how leaders approach fraud prevention because they understand how financial institutions actually function day to day.

And that perspective matters.

Because strong fraud leadership is not just about stopping bad transactions. It is about building resilient teams, aligning fraud prevention with credit strategy leadership, and making strategic fraud decisions that protect both customers and institutions at scale.
Throughout the conversation we explore how enterprise fraud teams evolve as institutions grow and why fraud leaders must shift from tactical problem solving to long term strategy.

In this episode we discuss
• How fraud leaders transition from investigators to strategic decision makers
• Why enterprise fraud solutions require strong collaboration across fraud, credit, and risk teams
• What changes when organizations scale fraud prevention across millions of accounts
• Why the language fraud leaders use internally can shape executive decisions
• How modern fraud threats require both advanced technology and human judgment

This episode is for you if
• You lead banking fraud prevention teams and want to strengthen your fraud leadership strategies
• You work in credit risk, compliance, or financial crime teams navigating enterprise fraud decisions
• You support credit union fraud prevention programs and want insights from large scale fraud organizations
• You are building advanced fraud prevention programs and want to understand how leadership drives fraud prevention innovation

Fraud leadership today requires more than tools and alerts. It requires strategy, communication, and the ability to guide teams through uncertainty while fraud threats continue to evolve.
