Earlier this year we successfully launched MasterPass in the UK - a fantastic team achievement that I was proud to be a part of - working with our banks, retailers and technology partners building the strategic partnerships that made this possible. What is the biggest challenge you've overcome in your career?I find personal challenges can be the most difficult to tackle and having the self-confidence to take on increasing amounts of responsibility in ground breaking areas of business previously proved a hurdle to career progression – one I’ve now overcome. What's the next game changer in digital? Being part of such a rapidly evolving industry with constant demonstrations of innovation makes this impossible to determine. Digital is becoming an essential part of many business and the outputs from the interesting JV’s, mergers and acquisitions that we’re seeing could be transformative. What would you like to be remembered for? My 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough attitude' to problem solving at work and being a great cross-functional team member Who inspires you most professionally or personally? I find inspiration from many sources; friends, family, colleagues and customers whose attitudes, resourcefulness and different perspectives constantly inspire me. What would you be doing if you weren't doing this? Practising Clinical Psychology (and using my degree!!) How do you relax? With good food, good wine and good company.
