WASHINGTON – October 20, 2021 – Combating and mitigating fraud is a focus of business leaders in both the public and commercial sectors. Staying ahead of evolving fraud exposure is increasingly more complex in today’s environment. Alarmingly, fraud impact transcends governments, industries, geographies, and technologies, leaving no entity immune. To help clients meet these challenges head-on, Guidehouse is thrilled to welcome Ajay Guru, expanding our ability to deliver world-class fraud risk and compliance solutions.
With more than 24 years of experience spanning fraud, technology, payments, consulting, and services management, Ajay joins Guidehouse’s Financial Services segment as a partner, tasked to help lead our Fraud Technology Service efforts.
“Technology is the cornerstone of an effective and efficient fraud program,” said Ellen Zimiles, partner and Financial Services segment leader. “We see an opportunity to help our clients select, implement, and optimize technology to bolster their fraud programs. More importantly, we help ensure that technology is aligned to business risk and that these results are measurable to improve program effectiveness.”
Additionally, Salvatore LaScala, partner and head of Guidehouse’s Global Investigations and Compliance practice, said, “Guidehouse’s vast technology credentials just leveled up with the addition of Ajay Guru, a known luminary who will augment our commercial, government, and managed services financial service projects.”
