FRA Partners Toby Duthie, Yousr Khalil, and Trevor Wiles Join FRA Pulse Board of Advisors

We're pleased to announce that Founding Partner, Toby Duthie, and partners Yousr Khalil and Trevor Wiles will join the FRA Pulse Board of Directors to provide forensic accounting subject matter expertise and mentoring to technology entrepreneurs within the FRA Pulse portfolio.

FRA Pulse, a technology think tank for forward-thinking entrepreneurs, joins forces with corporate leaders to co-develop and drive technology innovation. Toby, Yousr, and Trevor led the FRA team supporting Airbus in a multi-year forensic accounting and eDiscovery review within the context of the company's multinational investigation. Machine learning and AI technology were deployed for the first time in an investigation of this size and stature, delivering transformative results to enable it to conclude within four years.

"Having been at the helm of the largest and most data-intensive multinational investigation on record, Toby, Yousr, and Trevor are no strangers to creatively solving real-world problems by using the latest in technology," said Frances McLeod, FRA Founding Partner and Head of its Data Governance, Technology Solutions & Forensics practice. "Their experience in building understanding and trust in these technologies across multiple stakeholders, including some of the world's most active regulatory authorities, is unparalleled. This experience will be invaluable to the FRA Pulse community," she added.
