Leaders In Payments

This episode is a little different than what I’ve been doing. Given what is going on in the US and around the world related to the coronavirus I thought it would be advantageous to have someone on the show that could talk about the impact – both short-term and long-term of the coronavirus on the payments industry.  My special guest to help us understand how the coronavirus is impacting payments is Shaun Abraham, the Co-Founder and CEO of Transaction Insights. Shaun’s payment career includes time at both Bank of America and JP Morgan where he worked with start-ups, mid-sized companies and large enterprise companies to help them understand trends and opportunities in the payments space Shaun has a deep expertise in market intelligence around the payment industry and has been a presenter, panelist and moderator at numerous industry events.  It’s an uncertain time but also a time where we all need to stay informed, personally and professionally. www.transactioninsights.comwww.leadersinpayments.com www.podcast609.com
