About

Highlights

Engagements

• Launching PPRO in Mexico from zero

  PPRO

  • USD5M processed in the first six months
  • 20% added to company revenue that year
  • 90% of local cards covered

  Problem

  PPRO, a Berlin payments company, had no entity, bank, acquirer or team in Mexico, and needed to go live there within 30 days for its European merchants.

  What they did

  Sent as Director of Mexico Operations. Set up the local entity and recruited and trained the office team; negotiated processing agreements with the top Mexican acquirers until PPRO covered 90% of local cards; renegotiated the FX agreement with the Mexican banks, cutting remittance costs by 30%; and designed the risk management processes, which brought fraud down 15% month on month.

  Result

  USD 5M processed in the first six months, and a technology advisory deal with a large Mexican bank that added 20% to company revenue that year.

Redesigned the high-value order-to-receive process, streamlining order confirmation and creating end-to-end traceability of product delivery; improved the inventory matching logic, cutting weekly line-matching errors by 18%; and defined the catalogue data correction logic that removed a further 13% of errors in the first year.
