I spent almost the last six years working for one of the
world’s largest financial institutions and it was a great experience where I
learned more in that time than I think I would have learned in a lifetime with
a smaller institution. I’m very grateful
for the experience, but one of the tradeoffs was that I had to put the blog on
hiatus several years back after my employer implemented a pretty conservative
social media policy. It’s a decision
that each organization has to make and like most things in life, it’s a matter
of weighing different priorities. Large
financial institutions tend to be conservative when it comes to that sort of
thing because of regulatory and reputational risk so it was a reasonable
decision for them to make.
Now that I have left the financial industry and returned
back to my roots in law enforcement as the Vice President of International and
Strategic Initiatives at the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C), I’m able to fire up the blog and I’m
looking forward to being part of the discussion again. As always, what shows up
on this blog are my opinions and aren’t necessarily those of my employer.
The rub is that I’m pretty much back to ground zero when it
comes to followers for the blog and my twitter account so I’m grateful if
people could spread the word that I’m back in action.
My twitter feed is @ericjhuber which has exactly 19
followers as I write this. #sadpanda. Please
help me fix that.
