Head of Stripe Issuing

2012 - 2018

I lead Stripe Issuing: Stripe Issuing is an end-to-end platform for quickly creating, distributing, and managing physical and virtual cards. It’s infrastructure that enables you to do things like create employee expense cards with dynamic spending limits, generate virtual cards so marketplace couriers can pay with their phones at specific merchants, or run the entire card stack for a new digital bank. Prior, I managed the product teams responsible for our core payments product, global expansion, and enterprise users. Prior, to that I managed our global BD and operations team responsible for financial partnerships and their operations. I’ve led partnerships with Visa, Mastercard, First Data, and dozens of other financial entities across the world. I joined Stripe as our 30th employee. In addition to my primary roles managing our Payments products, and our global financial partnerships team, I've worked on: — International expansion: responsible for Stripe's expansion into Singapore, Hong Kong and New Zealand. — Product for https://stripe.com/checkout — Growth (first role held)
