Where did you begin your career, and how did you move into payments?
My first passion was marketing. At the start of my career, I worked as head of marketing and marketing manager before becoming a business analyst and contributing to developing digital products.
My payments career started when I was asked to tackle a chargeback problem. I knew nothing about payments then but was eager to take on the challenge.
I started by analyzing data to identify fraud patterns and creating rules to address these issues globally. After that, I became more heavily involved in payments, negotiating big deals and rates with payment processors. We had a large portfolio of payment partners and needed to consolidate, so we began building our own orchestration platform.
Following this initial experience, I joined Mastercard, working in its payment gateway services. I was there for two years, experimenting with open banking, learning about 3DS, and working with big banks and merchants.
When Printify approached me, I loved the idea of working in a start-up and having more flexibility. Printify was growing fast and needed a strategy to diversify its payment partnerships and respond to global customer needs.
Since then, I’ve been working on optimally routing transactions, enriching the payment portfolio, and strengthening our payment relationships.
