Bio

With over 19 years in Payments, I’ve had a lot of fun learning and helping change the payments landscape, building and launching some fantastic products and developing long-lasting and revenue driving partnerships, while doing my part to enable inclusiveness and participation in the digital economy. I thrive on developing solutions that solve problems for real people and businesses, that often turn the default payment systems on their head. Groups I championed include: - The migrant worker wanting to remit money back home quickly, seamlessly - The student on a budget wanting to manage finances during a dream trip abroad, easily - The seller wanting to enable payments seamlessly (without needing to become a payments illuminati) - The incredibly innovative logistics, wealth management, consumer technology, retail and marketplace companies that want to build banking into their brand I've had the pleasure of building and learning from some truly high-performing, diverse teams (and the international perspective of running global teams from the U.S. and regional teams from Asia Pacific). I’m a boomerang employee at Square, leading the fantastic global Payment Partnerships & Product Enablement team and am so thrilled to be back ‘home’. During my prior tenure here, I led payments partnerships for some of their largest partners and ran a number of strategic growth and marketing initiatives. Previously, at Green Dot, I helped companies build Banking into their brand. I led and executed some of the company’s biggest enterprise deals with the largest players in the world in consumer technology, logistics and wealth management (see some of the deals I led in the experience section below). During my 9 years at Visa, I led partnerships for their Travel, Entertainment and gaming merchants. Prior to that, I led Strategic Operations for the Processing and Sales division (incl. Visa DPS). I spent 2 years in Singapore as the Head of Product at Visa Processing Services and led a stellar team that excelled at building truly innovative solutions for issuers. How did I get to Asia? After building global B2B and T&E products, I was recruited for an international assignment to put my SME knowledge to work in market. Nothing is more fulfilling than closing deals for a product that you helped whiteboard and develop 18 months earlier! That’s me. I love payments and know how to build, scale, sell and operate products globally.
