The MRC, a global non‐profit membership association, brings together eCommerce payments and fraud prevention professionals from global merchants, solution providers and law enforcement agencies to share fraud and risk mitigation strategies in the ongoing fight against fraud. In addition to Forter, new board members represent international brands, including Adidas, Netflix, Mastercard, Sony, Stripe, Spotify and Lenovo.

"Each of these new Board members will add tremendous value to the organization and bring expertise unique to their region on compliance and fraud techniques," said Julie Fergerson, Merchant Risk Council CEO. "Our board members are an integral part of the organization as their ideas, direction, and contributions provide guidance and support to the MRC."

As Forter's head of risk and analytics for APAC, Naigeboren leads the region's fraud and risk strategy across a diverse portfolio of merchants, payment methods and product offerings. A former fraud analyst, he uniquely relates to MRC's community, providing practical insights and real-world learnings from his decade-plus fighting fraud.
