## About

```text
At High-tech Payment Systems, I lead cross-border payment programs and solution delivery for financial institutions, fintechs, and global merchants. I manage and mentor a cross-functional team working across regulated environments.

I architected and deployed a $15M multi-country acquiring platform for Shell Retail, integrating payment networks, regulatory requirements, and client needs across North America, Europe, and Asia.

I also directed an integrated issuing, acquiring, and switching solution for ABSA/Barclays across eight African markets, delivered within 12 months. For Banque Nationale du Canada, I led the design and deployment of digital issuance solutions with API integration and security compliance.

Earlier, as a Pre-Sales Consultant at High-tech Payment Systems, I supported sales through discovery workshops, POCs, and technical responses to global RFPs. I delivered 60+ workshops and POCs across 20+ countries and contributed to more than $10M in regional sales.
