In its recent blog post, Ripple blockchain decacorn spreads the word that it has hired Sendi Young, a Harvard Business School alumnus, former high profile employee of Mastercard who spent over fifteen years in fintech business, according to her tweet.
Young will now head the expansion of Ripple’s business in Europe.
New chief will lead European expansion of RippleNet
Sendi Young has joined Ripple as Managing Director of European Operations to help the company expand its global financial network RippleNet in that region.
Young has dedicated almost twenty years to the sphere of fintech, consulting and payments, has spent five years working for Mastercard, helping the fintech giant to develop strategies, land new partnerships with banks and payment firms and was in charge of business development overall.
In particular, during her time with Mastercard, she worked to improve services that helped banks switch to real-time payments, Open Banking and AI.
Now, she intends to help Ripple expand its business and its customer network in Europe in a similar way.
Sendi Young has become a crypto believer, since her extensive experience with banks and the traditional financial system has led her to believe that banking infrastructure is preventing global “frictionless value exchange across borders and inclusion”.
She is certain that crypto and blockchain technology will be a global game-changer that will help the current financial system to take a big step forward.
