Clue Software, a software company specializing in investigations and intelligence management, has recently appointed Laura Eshelby as head of economic crime. Prior to this appointment, Eshelby worked for 10 years at the Cabinet Office where she served as the Deputy Director for Practice, Standards and Capability at the Public Sector Fraud Authority. The company has experienced significant growth, having tripled its ARR over the last four years since their initial investment in 2021 while securing notable clients such as a UK government regulator, a top 10 retailer by revenue worldwide, and a leading UK sports governing body. Clue has also strengthened its presence in the UK government sector and the US market, securing significant business with a ‘Big Four’ tech company.
Eshelby, with more than 23 years of experience in counter fraud and economic crime in the UK and overseas, will expand the team’s portfolio across public and private sectors amidst a surge in fraud, which has doubled in the last year to £2.3bn. Her expertise in the field makes her an ideal candidate to help combat fraud and economic crime. Clare Elford, CEO at Clue, is pleased that Eshelby has joined their team as they look to continue growing their community of investigation professionals worldwide and instill best practices.
Eshelby’s appointment follows a recent expansion of the Clue team, which includes the addition of Director of Intelligence and Investigations, Matt Horne, and Intelligence and Investigations Manager, Nicola Thorn. The company’s flagship conference, Clue Connect Live 2024, will take place on November 12, where the team will share their expertise on the newest Clue advancements, delve into shared challenges, and discover best practices in intelligence and investigations.
