ABOUT RORY SUDA
I thrive in the structured chaos where payments, technology, and strategy intersect.I am currently a payments leader at Credit Union of Colorado, where I\'ve evolved from managing day-to-day operations to driving product strategy for our payment ecosystem. I\'m passionate about transforming complex payment systems into elegant solutions that simplify our member experience. My approach is simple: distill complexity and automate. Whether it\'s achieving a best-in-class 2:1 false positive ratio, launching 15+ payment products, or preparing our infrastructure for RTP/FedNow and emerging digital currencies – I lead with curiosity and lateral thinking.What drives me- Building high-performing teams through psychological safety and autonomy- Turning insight into action (and action into results)- Navigating regulatory complexity without sacrificing innovation- Bridging technical and business domains to deliver valueI\'ve spent my career spanning regulated industries – from managing Fortune 500 accounts at Aetna/PayFlex to leading digital transformations at scale. Along the way, I\'ve coded workflow engines, managed $14M budgets, and learned that willingness and adaptability are more important than a 100 page product spec doc.I am always interested in connecting with fellow payment innovators, fintech leaders, and anyone passionate about the future of financial services.
