Batavion was established by Cihat Fitzgerald, former head of Global Ecosystem Security & Integrity at Visa. His 25-year career in risk management, on the fintech, banking, and network levels, has made him a recognized industry expert on payments risk, operations, and fraud control.
“My deep knowledge and technical expertise were constantly called upon at Visa to help ecosystem participants develop sound risk mitigation and fraud control strategies, navigate complex risk issues, and to prevent or contain significant fraud events. I have now entered consulting to share my valuable expertise with those that can benefit greatly from it.”
