Featured Speaker - Kelly Paxton
I’m known most as the Pink Collar Crime lady but that's not all I speak about. I love speaking and training. Cheesy life-long learner here but there is nothing better than planning a presentation and delivering it in the most relevant and meaningful way.
I didn’t start out in law enforcement but that’s where I have spent most of my career. While working at a financial services firm, a client was arrested on wire fraud charges. This ended up leading me to a new, much more exciting career as a special agent for US Customs. I was able to work all types of cases including white collar fraud, money laundering and narcotics cases. I was used to investigating “bad guys.”
I have worked in the public and private sector. My cases have included embezzlement, conflict of interest, intellectual property, Open Source Intelligence and fraud. My most recent position was at Nike where I was recruited for my expertise in Open Source Intelligence and being a Certified Fraud Examiner.
I also was a contract investigator for the Department of Homeland Security doing background investigations. I have performed hundreds of top secret clearance background investigations for the federal government. (Not Edward Snowden's though!)
From 2007-2009 I was the fraud analyst at the Washington County Sheriff’s Office Fraud and Identity Theft Enforcement team. I was responsible for preparing cases for prosecution. This included testifying before Grand Jury.
From 2009-2014 I had my own firm, Financial CaseWorks LLC, which specialized in financial and workplace investigations. I worked criminal defense cases which gave me a new and broader perspective on investigations.
In 2014 I went to work at Nike in their Operational Resilience division. I investigated high level conflict of interest, intellectual property, sexual harassment, embezzlement and theft cases.
