Visa starts the year with Square’s head of payments
(11 January 2019 – Global) Visa has poached Mary Kay Bowman, former head of payments at Square, to be their new head of seller solutions.
Ms Bowman follows Sarah Friar as the second senior departure for Square in a month. Ms Friar, Square CFO, exited the company in December for a new role at Nextdoor.
In the new role, Ms Bowman will lead Visa’s strategy for acceptance products and services to “transform the payment experience for both sellers and consumers”.
Visa said of the role: “This is a critical role, as the point of sale is undergoing dramatic change as it shifts from traditional payment acceptance to digital, cross-channel payment experiences.”
