"Its strength, decisiveness, innovation 'sandbox' approach, highly-experienced and knowledgeable professionals and open culture are all ingredients that translate to unparalleled leadership. My goal is to improve quality and further consistency of marketing communications and establish Payvision as a recognised trusted advisor and facilitator in global card processing."
