With over 30 years of experience in the retail banking & payments industry, I am a seasoned executive who led Judopay, a mobile-centric, cloud-native enabler and orchestrator of cutting-edge payments solutions. I am passionate about helping businesses to change the way people pay, and creating a world beyond cash and cards. As the CEO/Managing Director of Judopay, I oversaw the strategic direction, business and financial operations, technology and partnerships of the company, as well as its integration with Fabrick S.p.A, an open finance player and part of the Banca Sella Group. Throughout my career, I have worked in different geographies and successfully managed multi-cultural teams with globally respected employers and brands, such as Visa, Mastercard, NatWest, Prudential and Thomson Reuters. I have a track record of developing markets, building brands, driving business, and stimulating innovation across different sectors. I have also forged strategic partnerships with some of the world's largest and most valuable companies. I am a creative and customer-driven leader, who challenges the status quo and motivates teams to achieve beyond expectations. I am also a pragmatist and a problem-solver, who focuses absolutely on delivery and commercial results. I am always eager to learn, grow, and collaborate with others in the payments ecosystem, and to contribute to its advancement and transformation.
