- Ensure all marketing communications rigidly adhere to regional open banking frameworks, consumer data right (CDR) mandates, and local compliance regulations (such as PSD2/PSD3, Dodd-Frank Section 1033, or equivalent regional financial rules).
- Manage crisis communication strategies and uphold data privacy and trust initiatives as a central tenant of the brand.
Team Development & Operational Excellence
- Recruit, mentor, and scale a world-class, high-performing marketing organization encompassing growth, product, content, design, and operations.

- Industry Acumen: Deep operational knowledge of the financial services landscape, payment rails, API business models, and technical developer ecosystems.
