Member Spotlights
Rachel Jolicoeur, CFE
Trust your instincts, keep digging, look for patterns and know how to navigate technology to find anomalies. These are the skills Rachel has learned over the course of her career. “Think like a criminal,” she says. “One of my colleagues taught me that acting like a criminal while you sleuth and exploring how technology is used for illegal means also can provide the answers to wrongdoing. Our fraud analytics group capitalizes on this as part of their strategy to combat financial crimes.” Rachel, the director of fraud prevention and partnership at Interac Corp., says she enjoys a challenge but also fairness. “Fighting fraud ticks both boxes,” she says. “I’m passionate about social responsibility, and this is one way I can make a contribution.”

Tasheika Hinson, CFE
When Tasheika was 8 years old, she made a pact with her childhood friend that they’d grow up to become attorneys. “It was crazy!” she says. “I’d only met one attorney in my life and had no real idea what they did.” This one attorney, according to Tasheika, was the first adult to ever look her in the eye, shake her hand and introduce themselves. “That seemingly minor interaction with an attorney left such an indelible mark on me.” Tasheika would go on to become an assistant U.S. attorney at the Department of Justice and now is the head of investigations at The Vanguard Group Inc. where she leads internal investigations and partners with internal teams in its 19 offices around the world.

Priti Amin, CFE
When Priti was young, she knew she wanted to do something that helped others because honesty, trust and personal integrity were important to her. Those values compelled Priti in her journey to fight fraud. Within Vodafone Group, a global technology communications organization, Priti is the Vodafone Business fraud manager. She’s responsible for managing fraud risks for the entity, its products, services and customers.
