ABOUT EMMA S.
I am a global strategy and governance leader with more than 15 years of experience building international standards, leading multi-stakeholder initiatives, and delivering large-scale programs that create measurable impact. During a 14 year tenure at the PCI Security Standards Council, I progressed from Standards Manager to Senior Vice President, leading the development of globally adopted security standards used by organizations around the world. My work focused on aligning industry leaders, technology providers, compliance entities, and practitioners to develop frameworks that strengthened trust, resilience, and collaboration across the global payments ecosystem. At the core of my leadership is the ability to bring diverse stakeholders together to solve complex challenges—building consensus, establishing governance structures, and translating strategy into operational reality.Recently, I took time for global travel and hands-on conservation experience. These experiences deepened my commitment to applying my leadership and systems-thinking capabilities to initiatives that protect ecosystems, communities, and the planet. If you\'re working on initiatives that require global collaboration, systems thinking, and stakeholder alignment to tackle complex challenges, I would welcome the opportunity to connect.
