Initially brought onboard by First Data Latin America to streamline commercial launch and expansion of Clover product/platform in Argentina and other Latin American countries. Improved processes for merchant acquisition/onboarding, customer support, real-time payment processing, and interactive dashboards (monitoring merchant configurations and real-time payment transactions) while driving product strategy, merchant training, product enhancements, and third-party developer support.Argentina Launch: Played instrumental role in positioning Clover platform to become the predominant smart payment/point-of-sale device in Argentina.— Ensured successful commercial launch for First Data (marketed as POSNET in Argentina) and competitively positioned Clover against primary market competitor, LAPOS, and emerging competitors by training engineering team, coordinating with technical implementation teams, and shoring up merchant onboarding, customer support, and other business initiatives. — Paved the way for rapid platform scalability to support >15,000 devices by mobilizing end-to-end teams to improve architecture and partnering with local and regional development teams for Clover platform, First Data IPG (payment gateway), Plataforma POSNET boarding system, and business intelligence.— Capitalized on Clover launch of “smart payment device” to add value to product line and generate additional revenue streams (e.g., from third party applications integrating with the Clover device in addition to per-transaction processing revenue and rental income for the devices). Advised on additional country launches by contributing to business case and engaging multiple development and business teams across Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay to create a fully functioning software prototype integrated with existing payment middleware.

Originated scan-and-pay mobile app and architecture that supported multiple payment processors and point-of-sale (POS) systems at retail locations; app would allow consumers to scan and pay for items and eliminate the need to interface with a retailer’s traditional point-of-sale (POS) or payment system. Worked with co-founder to create business plan and launch start-up, personally demonstrating technology at GS1 Connect, along with numerous Meetups and startup accelerators.
