Every declined transaction is lost revenue. Every uncontested chargeback is money left on the table. I’ve spent 15+ years in payments and over 20 years in technology making sure those losses don’t go unaddressed - solving one of the hardest problems in digital commerce: making payments actually work. Authorization rates, fraud prevention, network tokenization, cost optimization, and routing strategy - these are the levers I use to recover revenue and reduce risk at scale. I build and lead payment systems across businesses processing billions in annual volume, turning complex payment challenges into hundreds of millions in revenue. At PetSmart, I own end-to-end product strategy for payments, fraud, and billing across eCommerce. I delivered a 6% lift in authorization rates through network tokenization and account updater implementation - recovering ~$100M in annual revenue. Previously, I led a full payments transformation - increasing digital payment adoption by 25%, translating into $X million in incremental revenue, and improving chargeback win rates by 15% through AI-driven dispute automation, reducing manual processes and recovering millions of dollars. I operate across the full payments stack: card networks, ACH, BNPL, wallets, smart routing, debit optimization, and compliance (PCI DSS, NACHA, GDPR, Durbin). I work across engineering, data, finance, and commercial teams - building and scaling high-performing teams while delivering payment systems that drive revenue, reduce risk, and scale.
