Payments Strategist · Issuer Sales | Cross-Border Payments | Visa Veteran

The payments industry doesn’t lack talent. It lacks people who can translate product complexity into commercial momentum — and actually build the infrastructure to sustain it. Over 18 years across Visa and Amazon, I’ve done exactly that. At Visa Europe, I architected the Central Deal Team and the “Deal Hub” — the commercial engine that standardised how a pan-European sales force structured, tracked, and closed high-stakes strategic deals. That system didn’t just organise pipelines. It changed how teams thought about deals — turning regulatory shifts like PSD2/3 and IFR from compliance burdens into live commercial plays that grew AANR pipeline into €1B+ territory.

That same instinct — turning complexity into executable GTM strategy — is now what I’m applying to the next structural shift in payments: Agentic Commerce.

I recently explored the commercial implications of autonomous AI agents in payments infrastructure with Innovify on their podcast series.

The pattern across every engagement is consistent: complex environment, high-stakes outcome, execution bias. I work best with fintech leaders, payments networks, and commercial teams who need to scale a sophisticated GTM motion — where the product is hard to explain, the regulatory environment is shifting, and the pipeline target is non-negotiable. If that’s the problem you’re sitting with, let’s talk.
