After 5 years at PayPal, most recently serving as Chief Architect for PayPal Credit, I decided to move to London, having accepted the role of CTO with Barclaycard.
You might wonder why a techie with startup background would leave Silicon Valley to work at Britain's oldest bank.
The reason is simple: financial industry as a whole and consumer financial services in particular are undergoing a transformation, some might say a seismic shift, which is significantly technology-driven.
A wave of change disrupting the status quo presents a great opportunity for innovation.
I'm tremendously excited to join Barclaycard technology team.
