Guy Dey

Dear Sir or Madam

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Guy Richard Dey, and I possess significant and demonstrable experience in leading security operations, forensic investigations, risk management, fraud prevention operations, internal audit, and compliance for a diverse range of companies. I’m currently seeking a new challenge, and I feel that working for your organisation represents an exciting opportunity.

I have over 25 years of experience and have worked for The De Beers Group of Companies in the Group Security Department where I was the Head of Security Investigations as part of a global multi-disciplinary team of security specialists developing, implementing, and managing security for the biggest diamond mining company in the world. I have also done extensive work for Anglo American Platinum and Kumba Iron Ore. I also was part of the Anglo American team which started the Fraud Risk Management function for the group. I am currently the Lead Forensic Auditor for the Development Bank of Southern Africa, heading up their forensic team, fraud risk management and investigations.

I’d love to proclaim some of my most notable achievements in an investigations capacity but of course much of the relevant information is extremely commercially sensitive. Nevertheless, I’m proud of my consistent ability to conduct and progress high-level forensic investigations smoothly towards positive and constructive outcomes, including the prosecution of offenders, serious disciplinary action, and litigation. I also have a notable record of obtaining the return of many high-value items as a result of these security investigations, which is no small feat.

I’ve also worked for well-regarded professional services organisations such as KPMG as a Senior Manager in their risk management division and PwC in their forensics investigation division, in the UK and South Africa. I’m often complemented on my knowledge, approachability, attention to detail and business acumen, as well as my ability to coach and mentor teams and individuals to help them understand their role and deliver higher levels of quality, accuracy, and efficiency.

I have an extensive intelligence network across the Fraud/Forensic industry developed over many years and have connections in the security and intelligence industry which provide an in valuable source of information and knowledge. 

Criminal networks use increasingly sophisticated means to obtain sensitive data and access to systems, and thanks to my two decades of expertise in these areas, I’m fully up to date with these techniques, and I’ve advised numerous clients on how to develop and maintain tough, resolute, and compliant security structures and strategies to mitigate risk and deal with arising threats.

I’m also comfortable working on both strategic and operational management levels. Effective fraud risk management (prevention, detection and response) frameworks require planning and strategic development to fully realise their potential, and this has been a hallmark of my success in employment to date. 

Yours Sincerely,

Guy Richard Dey, MSc, CFE, FP(SA)
