I build and scale payments & fraud orgs that drive measurable profit impact.
Over 9 years leading Payments & Fraud at Wayfair, I held accountability for a $13B+ GMV global business, built and scaled a 100+ person cross-functional organization across product, engineering, analytics, and operations, and delivered $100M+ in recurring annual profit impact through authorization uplift, fee optimization, fraud reduction, and working capital strategy.
Previously, I held product roles at Wise and high-growth Berlin startups, building acquisition and monetization engines across SEO, referral systems, and performance channels.
Today, I advise fintechs, marketplaces, and enterprise e-commerce companies on how to:
✔️ Turn payments from a cost center into a strategic profit lever
✔️ Design multi-PSP, tokenization, and orchestration strategies
✔️ Improve auth rates, AOV, and conversion
✔️ Reduce fraud without damaging customer experience
✔️ Build and scale high-performance payments & risk teams
✔️ Develop practical AI and agentic commerce capabilities
Beyond strategy, I help leadership teams craft and sell a clear payments narrative internally, aligning Product, Finance, Engineering, and Risk around a coherent roadmap and securing executive buy-in for high-impact initiatives.
I’m a frequent industry speaker and advisory board member across the payments and fraud ecosystem, and I maintain a deep network of merchants, solution providers, and investors. When relevant, I can provide informed perspective on vendor landscape, build vs buy tradeoffs, and emerging players.
If you're navigating complex payments architecture, fraud tradeoffs, or strategic fintech decisions, I provide direct, operator-level feedback and playbooks that work at scale.
