When I started my financial services career over two decades ago payments were perceived to be a "necessary evil" concentrated in the financial services industry changing little over the years - Something you needed to have to run your business - But it was a highly commoditized space and was treated as such. 

I am excited to say that Payments has evolved into a rapidly changing, creative, dynamic space that has highly differentiated solutions and is viewed as something that can create and maintain strategic competitive advantage for firms across all industries.  Payments have never been more important and exciting across more businesses and industries than today.  I joined Thoughtworks in September of 2023 in New York City as the Head of Payment Solutions & Strategy for NA and am very excited to be spearheading helping our clients achieve exceptional business outcomes from the payment solutions we deliver for them.

I have two adult daughters, my oldest recently married in 2023 and my wife and I live in a small town about 20 miles west of Boston, that happens to be where the Revolutionary war started.
