Talks, panels, and podcasts on private lending fraud.
I speak on one subject: how fraud enters private real estate lending, how to stop it before capital moves, and what an audit trail capital partners trust looks like. Conference organizers, panel chairs, and podcast producers — start here.
How I show up on stage.
Conference keynotes
Lender, fintech, proptech, and private credit conferences. 20–45 minute formats. A/V needs are simple: confidence monitor, lapel mic, ability to advance slides.
Panels & fireside chats
Comfortable on panels with operators, capital partners, and reporters. Strong opinions, generous to other panelists, no jargon.
Podcasts & webinars
Available remote or in-studio. Pre-call walk-through with producers on request. Comfortable with long-form, interview, and roundtable formats.

Send the brief. I will reply with a fit and a date.
Include event, audience size, format, date window, and whether the talk is paid, expenses-only, or pro bono. I take a limited number of pro bono talks per year for trade associations and university programs in private lending.
