Summary
Fernando Figueira is a Data & Analytics leader with 11 years of focused experience in fraud prevention for credit cards and payments, currently managing fraud and customer service analytics at XP Inc. He combines advanced predictive modeling and machine learning skills (Python, R, SQL, C, MATLAB) with deep domain expertise in fraud patterns, rules management, transaction flows and tools like FICO Falcon. Fernando has led end-to-end implementations—from data mapping and SSCA requirements to building SQL transaction lakes and Power BI reporting—delivering measurable KPI improvements (FPR, hit rate, detection rate, ROI). Fluent in English and based in São Paulo, he moves seamlessly between hands-on modeling and business-facing strategy, often translating complex fraud signals into operational rules and measurable cost reductions.
