Tell me a little about your background.

My career has given me the opportunity to travel all over the world. I started my career with Citibank in consumer banking and worked in Egypt, the UK and Poland. My last job at Citibank was leading the consumer assets business for Poland where we were the first in the market to lead with innovation, launching contactless payments, instant issuance and many new technologies to drive superior consumer experience. I later moved to Asia and lived in Singapore and Malaysia working as the head of retail bank strategy and products at Standard Chartered Bank. In 2015, I joined Mastercard as head of consumer and commercial payments for the Middle East and Africa. In 2017, I began my current role and moved to the US to lead the product organization for North America. My priority in this role is leveraging new technologies to digitize the consumer experience, a mission I am extremely passionate about.
