I am a payments and prepaid industry professional with over 17 years of experience on both the bank and merchant sides. Currently, I am the Group Vice President, Membership, Gift Cards and Global Payment Operations at Tenerity, a $4B per year loyalty marketing merchant with operations in over 20 countries. Prior to Tenerity, I managed the Toys “R” Us Credit Card and the Toys “R” Us gift card businesses (and grew both substantially despite an overall declining sales environment) as well as the relationships with the merchant acquirer, all card networks and emerging payment platforms. I joined American Express in 2006 and progressed through increasingly responsible roles including leading a team of 20 in producing all Amex balance transfer campaigns. I was then recruited to manage and sell advertising space in Amex's statement marketing business. In addition, I ran the largest card acquisition channel at American Express and the relationship with Costco--their largest retail partner. Prior to Amex, I was an account manager at Donnelley Marketing and handled relationships with Fortune 500 clients in insurance and financial services.My experience gives me a strong P&L orientation and I am often put into turnaround situations where my analytical, project management, marketing and sales/relationship building skills effect positive outcomes. I always look to build operational and technical capabilities that increase revenue and allow for a more flexible business model. Moreover, I enjoy developing the people I manage and placing them in situations where they can drive results and advance their careers.Experience in:Payments Industry; Prepaid; Strategic Marketing; P&L Responsibility; Team Building & Leadership; Product Management; Strategic Alliances; Credit Cards; Gift Cards; Customer Acquisition; Digital Channel Management; Online Customer Acquisition; Contract Negotiations; Business Development; Mobile Payments; Relationship Management; Digital Marketing; Loyalty Programs
