ABOUT HANAN SEGAL SHERKIN

Payments have been the thread running through my entire career - not just as a function, but as the place where technology, strategy, regulation and customer experience meet. I’ve always been drawn to that complexity and to the impact payments have on how merchants operate, grow and serve their customers.Across more than 20 years in the industry, I’ve built operations in early-stage startups, helped offline merchants transition online, led risk and compliance functions, supported entry into regulated markets, and partnered with global merchants to improve performance and scale internationally. That mix of operational depth, regulatory experience and commercial leadership is what continues to drive me.I’m at my best in environments where clarity is needed, where teams need alignment, and where challenges require both strategic thinking and hands-on problem-solving. I enjoy bringing structure to ambiguity, connecting people and teams, and helping others succeed - whether through direct mentorship, cross-functional collaboration or building processes that last.What motivates me:• A deep passion for payments and how they shape global commerce• Leadership grounded in trust, empathy and accountability• Long-term merchant partnerships built on transparency and shared outcomes• Solving complex problems that sit across payments, risk, compliance and operations• Coaching and developing people, and helping teams grow with confidenceI’m energized by high-growth environments, ambitious teams and opportunities to make a meaningful impact.Always happy to connect with others who share a passion for payments, leadership and building what comes next.
