John Sudbury

Five years ago, John developed a new function within banking that amalgamated his background in Fraud, Financial Crime, and Cyber Security into a single holistic threat intelligence function.  By combining the three disciplines, he was able to bridge the gaps between different business areas and provide a complete picture of the economic crime threat landscape, enabling development of effective defensive strategies.

John is a strong advocate of intelligence sharing, believing that the banking industry can’t risk public safety by taking a competitive approach to security and crime prevention. Further, he determines that threats can only be mitigated by working collaboratively with strategic partners, to identify and disrupt high harm threat actors, be they involved in fraud, mule herding, money laundering, or crime as a service (CaaS) operations.  John enjoys a strong relationship with law enforcement (domestic and international) and has a track record in end-to-end operations against criminal actors.
