Adam Kissane — CEO
With nearly 20 years in international payments, I specialise in navigating product and business operations complexities of a rapidly evolving landscape to deliver scalable transformation. As Director of International at Juspay, I lead our global expansion, ensuring our products stay ahead of industry shifts. I bridge the gap between emerging technology, regulatory mandates, and the practical needs of the international merchant, with a particular focus on the travel sector. The Value I Bring: Ecosystem Alignment: My end-to-end experience bridges the requirements gap between Schemes, Acquirers, PSPs, Issuers, and Merchants. I ensure technical solutions solve real-world pain points while adhering to global scheme requirements. Strategic Roadmap Development: I align product roadmaps with specific market and sectoral needs. By assessing regulatory requirements (such as PSD3/PSR), I ensure our products remain compliant and commercially viable. Sectoral Expertise: I have a deep understanding of the unique challenges within the travel and aviation sectors, working closely with clients to support their ongoing needs and drive frictionless payment experiences. Transformation Leadership: I deliver end-to-end payment programmes, moving from strategy to execution. Drawing on my background with Ryanair, Deloitte, and AIB, I help clients align legacy infrastructure with agile tech stacks to make payments seamless. Industry Engagement: I am a frequent speaker and contributor to the global payments dialogue at events like EBA Day and within forums such as the Merchant Risk Council (MRC), the FPAI, and the EU Payment Association.
