When one incorrect piece of data could cost someone their life, you have no choice but to be meticulous about what you do. Kurt McKenzie, Director of Physical Security at MongoDB, has had a career that hinges on the ability to be meticulous in every single thing he analyzes. He is a retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent and has more than 24 years of diverse experience investigating Financial Crimes, Narcotics trafficking, Terrorism and Organized Crime both domestically and abroad.
As a Special Agent, McKenzie was assigned to several high-profile investigations including the September 11th investigation, and the Amerithrax case. He also successfully investigated numerous Bank, Wire and Health Care fraud as well as Money Laundering cases which exposed critical flaws in banking systems.
Key topics of McKenzie’s discussion with host Chuck Randolph include:
-Why the desire to solve problems is at the heart of every skilled investigator
-Skills he learned as a Special Agent in the FBI that carried over into the private sector
-The role of relationships and building networks in his work and why it’s important to surround yourself with people who challenge you
