PaymentsSource Names 2013 Most Influential Women in Payments

Inaugural Honors Cite 20 Executives for Outstanding Leadership and Vision

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Mar 28, 2013) - PaymentsSource today has honored 20 payments executives as the Most Influential Women in Payments. The women honored in this inaugural feature were selected by the editors of PaymentsSource as standouts for their significant achievements, exceptional leadership, and promotion of innovation in the payments industry.

PaymentsSource, a SourceMedia news analysis and information brand, will celebrate the accomplishments of these executives on April 9th at a luncheon and leadership panel that will be held during SourceMedia's 25th Annual Card Forum & Expo at the Boca Raton Resort & Club in Florida.

"Payments, as much as any part of financial services, is in a state of constant and rapid reinvention," said Daniel Wolfe, editor in chief of PaymentsSource. "The women on our list are leaders whose vision and dedication truly are driving that change.

"SourceMedia has a great tradition of recognizing the accomplishments and promoting the advancement of women in a broad range of financial services. When we set out to expand that tradition to payments, it quickly became clear that women hold incredible sway in just about every aspect of the payments business," Wolfe added.

The honorees represent a wide range of payments constituencies, including issuing banks, payments networks, merchant acquirers, and payments technology companies, among others.
