• Develop and manage strong relationships with senior decision-makers within PSPs, acquirers, and large merchants, leveraging regulatory positioning and market credibility to unlock traditional payment infrastructure partnerships.
• Design and execute regional expansion strategies that prioritize high-impact verticals such as gaming, iGaming, trading platforms, e-commerce, OTA, and digital services, while identifying emerging opportunities across underpenetrated sectors.
• Collaborate closely with Product, Integration, Legal, Compliance, and Marketing teams to localize solutions, streamline onboarding processes, and develop joint go-to-market initiatives that drive merchant adoption and GMV growth.
• Analyze merchant performance and partnership data to segment accounts, optimize commercial terms, improve profitability, and maximize long-term ecosystem leverage.
• Continuously monitor competitive landscape, regulatory developments, and market shifts to refine regional strategy and inform global payment distribution expansion.

• Demonstrated ability to operate in regulated environments and navigate compliance and reputational considerations when structuring partnerships.
• Commercially mature, resilient, and execution-driven, with the ability to build momentum in high-growth, expansion-focused environments rather than relying on established infrastructure.
• Strong analytical mindset with the ability to interpret merchant performance data and translate insights into scalable partnership strategies.
