Enhanced presence in Silicon Valley furthers
collaboration with established and emerging tech companies
MasterCard today announced the expansion of its San Carlos
Center of Excellence and the relocation of senior vice president of
Emerging Merchants, Les Matthews, and his team to the company’s
West Coast office. MasterCard will also add global communications
support in San Carlos with the relocation of vice president,
Worldwide Communications, Brian Gendron. The moves enhance the
company’s presence on the ground in Silicon Valley – an important
market for continuing to deepen MasterCard’s footprint with the
tech community. In addition, it will also enable the team to engage
with the local venture capital community and work more
collaboratively with MasterCard digital partners, West Coast based
technology organizations and emerging merchants.
“The world of payments is rapidly evolving, led by the
convergence of digital and physical environments, as well the
changing needs of the always-connected consumer,” said Michael Cyr,
group executive, Market Development, MasterCard. “It’s important
for us to be on the ground with our partners who are leading the
digital evolution so we can further our collaborative efforts to
move to market the solutions that consumers are seeking. MasterCard
is a technology company and continuing to build our presence within
the key tech markets, such as Silicon Valley, is essential.”
This news follows the recently announced technology hub in India
and last year’s opening of a New York City based technology hub
which are fostering increased collaboration between technologist,
developers and MasterCard’s global innovation teams across the
globe to drive the development of cutting-edge payment technologies
to enable a cashless world.
