Starting with Acculynk in 2016, then integrated with First Data, and eventually part of the Fiserv family, our group managed some of the most exciting projects and partnerships in play at Fiserv. I was responsible for supporting our expansive e-commerce product set with internal groups and clients, ranging from omni-channel acquiring to disbursements to currency solutions and more. Additionally, my mandate was to drive some of our most important partnerships and commercial development of our non-traditional payments methods, such as the major Chinese methods of payment, both mobile wallet and card-based, as well as support evolving commerce models based on blockchain and cryptos. We have brought some of the largest non-US payment methods to market and we are leading the commercialization of an entire portfolio of non EMVCo payment methods. One of my prouder accomplishments was leading the rollout of the online EBT solution. The team accomplished incredible growth, managing countless deployments during the pandemic and serving millions of consumer providing them parity of access nutrition. We became the industry leader because we focused on the mission of the greater good.

Democratization of payments continued! Acculynk was acquired by First Data, closing in May 2017. As part of First Data, my focus was managing strategic roll-outs with some of First Data's premier partners, both domestically and internationally. These programs enhanced and expanded First Data's global e-commerce platform for payment acceptance, disbursements, and international payment network capabilities. Exciting experience to be at the forefront of international payments, creating a unified platform for wallets and multiple methods of payment.

First, please note that Acculynk was acquired by First Data. Second, yes, I used the terms "democratization" and "payments' in the same breath. Acculynk succeeded in bringing more payment options to more customers and opening new channels for businesses. Hence, we truly accelerated the democratization of payments. I believe this was a big deal.The story is about opening up new types of payment solutions, more securely,and facilitating more transactions between evermore customers and businesses. Acculynk made it easier for more people to engage with more business and more securely. Progressive innovation made simple.
