and credit unions across the U.S. market.
“Raj brings a unique balance of analytical thinking and
business-building creativity,” said Craig Vosburg, president, North
American Markets. “Her proven strategic, leadership and
customer-oriented capabilities across multiple industries will help
MasterCard continue to be a strong partner to our issuers in an
increasingly dynamic payments marketplace.”
Most recently, Seshadri was a managing director at Blackrock,

professor at Columbia University, where she teaches marketing of
financial services.
“For years, I have seen the impact that MasterCard has made by
bringing innovative products and solutions to the market. I look

partners successfully grow their businesses while strengthening
relationships with their customers,” said Seshadri.
Seshadri will join MasterCard on April 11 and
