I help merchants and fintechs simplify payments, cut costs and lift conversion.
I’m a commercially focused Senior BDM with 16 years experience in retail leadership and 4 years in financial services, specialising in payments and consumer finance.
I partner with mid-market merchants and fintechs to simplify payment journeys, reduce cost-to-accept and boost checkout conversion across online and in-store channels.
Over the last 7+ years I’ve built and scaled commercial strategies, onboarded strategic partners and delivered omni-channel propositions within POS finance and embedded payments. I enjoy working cross-functionally; bringing together credit, risk, product and legal teams to turn ideas into live programmes. I’m curious, commercially astute and pragmatic under pressure, and I love turning complex payment challenges into simple commercial wins.
If you’re exploring ways to improve payment performance or considering a pilot, let’s connect!
