NEW YORK, NY (March 12, 2018) – PaymentsSource, SourceMedia’s resource for payments professionals worldwide, has announced the 25 Most Influential Women in Payments for 2018.
The 25 Most Influential Women in Payments program, now in its sixth year, recognizes leaders of businesses as diverse as the global payments industry itself: banking and financial services, transaction processing, retail, technology and merchant acquiring. Honorees are selected by the editors of PaymentsSource, the leading independent information resource dedicated to serving all global payments constituencies.
While the professional backgrounds and areas of expertise of the honored executives vary widely, the 25 Most Influential Women in Payments share a demonstrated ability to transform and elevate the businesses they lead.
“Whether they are revitalizing culture and strategy at legacy companies or starting up enterprises of their own, these executives are shaping the future of payments,” said Daniel Wolfe, Editor-in-Chief of PaymentsSource. “The work they are doing will change how business is done not only at their companies, but across the industry.”
PaymentsSource will recognize this year’s honorees on Monday, May 7, in a special ceremony at the annual Card Forum event at the InterContinental Miami.
