Tell us a little bit about your career journey.
I’ve always been attracted to challenging and dynamic roles. I started my career in consulting, before moving into payments and Fintech. Firstly, leading Strategic Partnerships at Visa, and then moving to JPMorgan Chase & Co as Managing Director of their Merchant Services & Wholesale business.
From there, I joined PayPal to lead PayPal Braintree and the implementation globally, before taking on my current role as Chief Product Officer at Worldpay. We process over $2.5T annually for more than one million merchants globally. It’s an exciting time to be part of this team as we continue evolving and innovating to unleash the potential of every business.
