At Visa Canada, I led product strategy and portfolio growth for its $45B+ Debit & Prepaid business. I built the strategy and go-to-market plan for Mobile Debit at POS, and led Tap to Pay on Visa Debit commercialization.

At Discover Financial Services, I led the launch of Apple Cash, shaping the strategy and coordinating teams across Apple, Green Dot, FIS and more to deliver its MVP in under four months. I also shaped partner API onboarding strategy and drove development across wallet and payment-network ecosystems.

At Apple, I led systems design and delivery for Apple Pay, including issuer onboarding, tokenization and payment network integration. Earlier at BlackBerry, I led device interoperability initiatives for NFC-based mobile payments and digital wallet experiences.
