About Edis Cejvanovic

With over a decade of experience across operations and fraud risk management, I focus on strengthening controls, identifying systemic vulnerabilities, and driving measurable improvements in complex financial environments.In my current role at U.S. Bank within Controls and Loss Performance, I evaluate transactional risk across business lines, identify control breakdowns, and deliver investigation-ready analytics that support fraud case decisioning and enterprise loss mitigation. My work has contributed to a 51% year-over-year reduction in operational loss exposure.I work cross-functionally with Operations, Compliance, Risk, and Fraud Investigations to identify control gaps, address root causes, and implement scalable solutions, including segregation-of-duties safeguards and system-based control enhancements. I also support enterprise initiatives such as Surprise Audits and control reviews designed to proactively reduce risk and strengthen governance.My approach goes beyond detection. I focus on surfacing early indicators, improving monitoring frameworks, and enabling more proactive, data-driven decision making. I regularly translate complex risk data into clear, actionable insights for stakeholders across all levels, including senior leadership.I am particularly interested in advancing within fraud, risk, and AML environments where analytics, control design, and operational strategy intersect to prevent loss and strengthen organizational resilience.
