About Jonathan Arras

I am a 20-year fraud addict.I currently own Transformational Solutions within Visa\'s Acceptance Risk Solutions suite - bringing new products to life and reworking existing ones. I previously owned the strategy and vision for Visa\'s flagship transaction fraud management product, Decision Manager.Prior to moving to Visa, I owned the fraud strategy for T-Mobile, USA across all brands (including Sprint and Metro by T-Mobile), products, and verticals for more than a decade. In addition to that leadership role I\'ve worked in every area of fraud, from investigations to reporting to analysis to product and more. I\'m heavily interested in digital identity and behavioral biometrics in particular, but more broadly I\'m motivated by pushing the boundaries of fraud prevention. The industry is young, and between theory and execution I\'d like to be part of the leading edge of what it takes to help fraud prevention \"grow up\" into something truly amazing.Reading about pyramid schemes is my junk food.
