What I’m working on now... Next Generation Payment Solution
I think the next big thing in payments is… Agile Payments: a unified approach to managing the entire lifecycle of payments independent of payment type, customer type, channel, or geography.
Cash is… Useful for people that want to keep their activities a secret and operate off the grid.
My mentor is… My mentor is Phil Heasley. He taught me that it is teamwork not individual accomplishment that will usher in the next generation of payments.
