Brian Wu has extensive working experience in the Financial Institution on Financial Crime. During his 14 years’ time in HSBC, he had taken up multiple roles (both 1st and 2nd line) including Risk & Control, Compliance Advanced Analytics and complex Financial Crime investigation identifying transnational organized crimes in Asia. Understanding the customers’ digital footprints and identifying the abnormally from scattered data, Brian had led his agile team to move away from manual, rule based reactive detection model in today’s digital era. As detection lead time is much shorter than before, this new proactive approach allows the company to run the operation with much leaner resources but equally effective.  Brian has brought this new proven approach to the insurance sector in Asia now and is working hand in hand with the business to build a preventive and detective Fraud management solution.
