As part of the Senior Leadership Team, contributed heavily to the product rubric, organisation design and the interview process to ensure we were hiring well, actively performance managing, and providing appropriate career progression.
Hired and mentored PMs to deliver shared platforms for pay-in and pay-out platforms in ~18 months, processing 100+% of the total group volume with success rates that are 2-12 percentage points higher (based on the corridors) than legacy stacks.
Added routing functionality on payments to save over $9M/y with no additional user friction. Then worked with vendors to identify another 600K/month between savings or additional revenue via surcharges for expensive cards.
Supported product due diligence on acquisition targets ranging in size from 2M to 30M annual revenue.
Scaled the Sendwave product offering from 7 markets in Q3 2020 to over 30 receive markets in 2023 to support volume growth from ~3Bn to ~8Bn annually.
Built the v1, and then supported scaling of volume forecasting to get to 98%+ forecasting accuracy for major markets (in a volatile FX and macro environment) and consequently lower funding-related outages and better allocation of working capital.
