Kristofor Healey is the founder and director of The Secure Entrepreneur, a security management consulting firm who helps entrepreneurs and small business owners improve their fiscal health by changing their habits to eliminate risk and reduce their exposure to fraud.

We talk about the following:

Healey is a Texas licensed private investigator and former Special Agent with the Department of Homeland Security who has more than 15 years of experience in federal law enforcement as a Top-Secret clearance holder conducting large scale, multi-defendant fraud investigations and high-risk tactical operations, domestically and overseas.

As a Special Agent, Healey served on various federal task forces, testified in state and federal criminal proceedings as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) on tele-fraud, and has been a featured speaker at law enforcement and industry conferences and training academies, as well as an overseas representative on behalf of the U.S. Government.

Healey’s criminal investigative work has been featured in national media profiles and his work investigating the India based call center networks targeting American citizens is now the subject of a Campside Media podcast chronicling his team’s identification, arrest and extradition of the founder of the IRS telephone scam.
