About Itafe abu
I\'ve spent 10+ years working at the intersection of risk, compliance, and trust — at companies like Plaid, Stripe, Meta, and Gusto — building the programs and frameworks that keep platforms safe and financially sound. My work spans AML compliance, KYC/KYB reviews, payment compliance (ACH/NACHA) fraud detection, account takeover response, and platform integrity. I don\'t just review cases — I help build and improve the workflows behind them. At Plaid, I orchestrated an ongoing monitoring review process that cleared 100% of the backlog. At Meta, I helped restore hacked accounts costing the platform roughly $48K a month in fraudulent losses. At Stripe, I redesigned the fraud appeals flow and cut bad actor reinstatements by 60%. I\'m most energized by roles where the work actually matters — where getting the call right protects real people and real businesses. If you\'re building or scaling a risk, trust & safety, or compliance function, I\'d love to connect.
