- Cross‑Functional Leadership: Collaborate with Issuing, Acceptance, Risk & Identity, Product, VCA, and Marketing teams in both PH and regional hubs to ensure smooth deployment and client success.
- Pipeline & Execution Excellence: Build and manage a strong VAS pipeline, ensuring disciplined execution, client satisfaction, and continuous improvement.
