Elyssa Beresford
Junior Investigator in Chicago, IL
I am an Investigator at RMS International, specializing in complex case analysis, tactical deployment coordination, and intelligence mapping for enterprise-level clientele across the globe.
My operational methodology bridges the gap between data science and active field investigations. Holding an MS in Business Analytics and a BA in International Affairs, I transition qualitative global data into precise, actionable investigative plans. Prior to RMS, I served as a fraud analyst for the Office of the State Attorney (15th Judicial Circuit), where I audited over 3,000 confidential medical and insurance files to extract evidence of systemic fraud.
I manage the full lifecycle of complex casework from intake to close. My current executive mandate includes:
- Investigative Execution: Developing tactical case plans, managing evidentiary chain of custody, conducting subject interviews, and drafting court-ready reporting.
- Operational Deployment: Coordinating the deployment of field assets.
- Account & Network Management: Acting as the primary operational point of contact for active client accounts and negotiating pricing parameters across our global vendor networks.
- Commercial Strategy: Driving business development through the architecture of high-impact proposals, leveraging a documented track record of securing multi-million dollar B2B contracts.
