Ms. Thomas is admitted to the New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Florida bars. She is an ACA International Credit and Collection Compliance Officer and an RMAI Certified Receivables Compliance Professional.

I am the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) for Cavalry Portfolio Services, LLC, and am honored to have just finished up my term as President of RMAI. As the CCO, I have the responsibility of developing and monitoring the company’s Compliance Management System.

I started at a debt collection law firm right out of law school and then opened my own practice shortly thereafter. In 2010, I moved to the in-house Compliance Counsel position at Cavalry.

Data privacy and information security are both important areas to keep abreast of.

I have enjoyed working with coalitions of members of the industry and trade associations. Together we are more successful when facing adversity and uncertainty. I am hopeful that these efforts will continue.

I thoroughly enjoy watching my colleagues and members of my team grow personally and professionally. Many of us have worked together for nearly 20 years and I consider them to be my second family.

Look for every open door and be sure to walk or run through!

I am most proud to have ascended as a leader in the receivables industry, following in the footsteps of the great leaders who came before me.

I wanted to be a brain surgeon for most of my childhood!

I love working in a hybrid scenario. I have time to really dive in focus at home with no interruption; however, I also enjoy seeing my colleagues and collaborating with them when I am in the office.

My favorite TV show is The Morning Show, and I love true crime podcasts!

I know how to ride a motorcycle.

We have two grand-dogs: Kalo, who is a husky, and Dulce, who is a dachshund mix.
