ABOUT BRIAN GALLAGHER
I am a highly technical Staff Product Manager specializing in global payments infrastructure, Flow of Funds, and complex payments orchestration. Currently at Etsy, I lead the Money Movement squad, managing the engine that powers acquiring, settlement, and payouts for a global two-sided marketplace. I focus on abstracting away the complexity of cross-border commerce - whether that means architecting composable APM infrastructure to reduce engineering dependency, launching new regulated entities, or navigating complex international compliance frameworks.Prior to my focus on global payments, I operated as a CPTO, where I led the 0-to-1 architecture and scaling of a global B2B SaaS platform for enterprise clients including General Motors and Toyota. Whether I am launching complex mobility networks across multiple continents or optimising marketplace payment economics to save millions in fees, my goal is always to deliver scalable, highly technical infrastructure that drives massive commercial impact.
