Welcome back to Power of Payments. I’m your host Ismail Umar, and in today’s episode, I’m joined by Brian Dammeir, president of North America at Adyen. Adyen is an Amsterdam-based firm that allows businesses to globally accept, process, and settle ecommerce, mobile, and point-of-sale payments. It acts as a payment processor for some of the biggest brands across tech, retail, travel, restaurants, and more, including Spotify, Uber, Facebook, LinkedIn, McDonald’s, eBay, and L’Oréal. Brian has been with Adyen for the past seven years, and prior to that, he held a variety of product roles at Google and Airbnb. Brian and I discuss a number of topics, including his experiences at Adyen, how he’s seeing a shift in consumer culture and expectations across generations, the potential long-term effects of Covid on consumer behavior, and the role that Adyen wants to play in the future of payments.
