I am a seasoned executive with nearly two decades of leadership experience in financial services, with a specialized focus on payments and fintech. My passion lies in driving innovation and growth to create value and eliminate friction for both customers and internal stakeholders. With deep expertise in payment data and cost optimization, I have successfully negotiated over $20 million in savings with the four major card schemes and uncovered additional savings opportunities through processing optimization. My career has followed the lifecycle of a transaction, giving me hands-on experience across the payments value chain—from merchant to acquirer, payfac, and network levels. This gives me a unique, holistic perspective that I bring to every opportunity and challenge. I’m passionate about breaking down complex problems into practical, actionable solutions. I’m a strategist who sets the vision and a hands-on leader who gets things done, working closely with cross-functional teams to achieve results. I’m committed to building and leading high-performing teams, mentoring talent, and focusing on value driving outcomes over output. I’d love to connect and explore how we can innovate and grow together in the payments and fintech space.
