Strategic Merchant Acceptance (UK&I),
Discover Global Network
With over 25 years in the payments industry, Dan is an expert in his field, having roles that span across both technical and commercial areas. Dan strives to challenge the status quo and deliver key opportunities whilst working closely with his stakeholders to deliver ‘win/win’ solutions.
In his latest role within DGN’s International Partnerships team, he is focused on developing and executing a data-driven strategy to grow acceptance in the UK & Ireland for DGN’s 345M Global cardholders. Working with DGN’s payment partners and directly with strategic merchants, his aim is to improve the cardholder experience and in turn, increase their confidence when spending in the UK. This strategy also helps businesses reduce friction at the point of sale and allows them to benefit from the $589B+* that is spent across DGN’s network.
As part of his previous technical responsibilities, Dan managed DGN’s Global terminal/card certification process team and, when added to his commercial experience, has a deep understanding of what is required to enable DGN card acceptance for a business, what the potential blockers are, and how to overcome them.
