I am very confident she will strengthen our client focus and continued drive to expand access to electronic payments across the region.”

She also had a 15-year career at Citibank in Vietnam, serving in a variety of roles. Over this time, her responsibilities included country head of cash and trade product and implementation, global transaction services, risk, and operations.
