Career record
From a bank presidency through global payments and bank cores, to custody and advisory work on tokenization, stablecoins, and agentic payments.
Narrative
I have served as chief executive, president, chief operating officer, executive vice president, and a board director. The presidency of First National Bank of Pasco ended in August 2026, after a change of control. I led stabilization and modernization with that board. I did not run the transaction.
At FIS I was FinTech Global CTO, then Global Head of Products for bank cores and Unity Wealth, and Global Head of AI/ML, through July 2021. Cores, wealth, and payments were about an $8 billion profit and loss. The cores served about 200 million accounts. The payments platform grew from about two people to about $358 million in net revenue.
At TD Bank, from December 2009 to December 2015, I was the only U.S. executive spanning the bank and Global Transaction Banking. Payments and custody were about $4 trillion a year. About 3,600 people. Fedwire, CHIPS, SWIFT, and ACH ran in production.
I now sit on the SolomonEdwards Strategic Advisory Board. I advise banks, FIS, and Fiserv. A named person reviews and releases a payment before funds move.
