Detailed info

As a seasoned business leader, I bring a wealth of experience in managing cross-border operations, developing products, and driving sales growth. At Papaya Global, I oversaw the company’s payment line of business and led the team responsible for payment product development, sales, and operations. Through my strategic leadership, I was able to grow the business from scratch to over $400 million in turnover. I also negotiated and integrated the payment system with major banks and PSPs while navigating local regulations of salaries and authorities payments.

Prior to this, I held a key leadership position in a credit card company where I managed a B2C line of business. In this role, I spearheaded the development and launch of several new products such as digital gift cards, micro loans, split after the payment, and cash max, among others. Additionally, I was responsible for credit (revolving and term loans) including digital marketing of credit and customer journeys, digital app development, and new growth product development.

With a strong background in analytics and creativity, I have a proven track record of maximizing team efforts and driving results. I possess exceptional problem-solving skills and thrive in fast-paced environments. My ability to structure and execute PLG processes has enabled me to launch successful new products and drive exponential growth.
