I am an energetic, consistently optimistic and totally passionate person focused on developing and nurturing teams that creatively and consistently deliver and execute. I am an experienced leader in payments with nearly two decades of experience not only in traditional banking but more recently in emerging new digital payments and technologies. With an engineering technical background and a natural orientation and love of working with people, I have managed to thrive in roles both in client sales and in product management and development throughout my career. Having worked in the Philippines, Hong Kong and now in New York, I bring a unique viewpoint and a great and profound appreciation of the power of diversity and inclusion. My roles in country, regional, and global capacities have provided me with valuable insights into diverse cultures, market trends, regulatory landscapes, and effective communication strategies. This in-depth understanding enables me to inspire excellence, develop loyal employees and collaborate effectively with teams on the ground across various functional internal and external groups.Most importantly, I have now ventured into the world of entrepreneurship and travel by founding a travel company, My Travel Specialist, focused on creating experiential travel to exotic destinations around the world.
