Who We Are
Tanya Shelburne, President
With over 33 years of private and public sector experience, Tanya Shelburne is one of the leading experts in the field of investigative due diligence. She began her career at Kroll Associates in NY, and eventually ran the Business Intelligence Services practice at Deloitte in Los Angeles. In 2009 she was hired into the US Intelligence Community (USIC) to institutionalize and lead a robust investigative due diligence program, which is now leveraged across several USIC entities. Given her international background and fluency in French and Spanish, she has been all over the globe, working on complex assignments ranging from asset, fraud, FCPA, and AML investigations, to more recently, providing critical insight and support to policy makers in support of US foreign policy activities and operations.
Given the FCRA and other privacy requirements involved in investigations, she recently obtained her CIPP/US certification which she leverages with clients looking to shore up their privacy programs.
In 2024 she formed The Global Intelligence Group, in order to address her clients' needs and partner with trusted colleagues on a wide variety of investigative and privacy consulting matters.
Tanya earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from UC Berkeley and an International MBA from Thunderbird.
Maxine Friedman, Senior Associate
Maxine began her career at Playfly Sports in New York City, where she supported the Ad Sales Account Executives through business development research and client presentations. She was then selected for a two-year rotational sales program at KPMG, where she refined her sales acumen and analytical skills. Early in her time at KPMG, she was introduced to the firm’s Investigative and Financial Crimes practice, which sparked her interest. Motivated to gain further insight into this field, Maxine independently earned her Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) credential and began pursuing a cryptocurrency and blockchain certification through ACAMS, recognizing the significance of these areas in compliance and investigative assignments.
In 2024, she launched her investigative career with The Global Intelligence Group on a part-time basis, transitioning to a full-time role in 2025. Maxine is fluent in French and has leveraged her language skills in both client engagement and investigative research. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing from the University of South Carolina.
