About Sonny Wooten
After retirement from American Express Global Merchant Services I continue my journey as a consultant seeking and creating transformative and innovative solutions for acquirers, their merchant customers and technology companies that support them. With nearly 40 years of extensive and diverse leadership experience in the dynamic payments industry, I have led many teams and driven measurable and sustainable results within business development, product management, new sales, and relationship leadership functions. I am known by my past leaders and executives as someone who has the consistent ability to lead teams, create strategic vision and execute with precision. Twice winning the Chairman’s Award, American Express’ highest leadership honor, recognizing my proven record of innovative development and execution, exceeding goals and expectations and delivering value and revenue – all by motivating and running very complex organizational units. And as a trusted advisor and consultant in the payments industry, I am passionate about leveraging disruptive technologies and business models to drive growth and value for businesses. Currently Vice President - Business Development with Savify, previously known as National Benefit Programs, and an independent consultant and advisor to payment leaders.
