The Reward Gateway | Edenred Leadership Team

As the Chief Operating Officer, I’ve got a variety of teams that report to me, including Product, Client Success, Implementation, Retail, Secondary Revenue, Client Support, Employee Support and Design. My role is to ensure every client and employee have the best experience with anything Reward Gateway related.

My love for rugby and cricket originally pointed me in the direction of becoming a qualified Sport Scientist, working with a number of sports teams specializing in biomechanics. But in 2003, I moved to the UK from South Africa, where I discovered a huge passion for product development and technology, leading to a complete career change. I then went back to university to get my MBA, specializing in finance and after three years working for Amazon, moved to Reward Gateway.

As CFO, I work closely with the leadership team to accompany the growth of our activity in all the countries where we are present, ensuring the company meets internal and external obligations as well as maintaining high-level financial standards.

Prior to joining Reward Gateway, I have had the privilege to hold similar positions in the US, Italy, Brazil and Mexico.

As the Chief People Officer I’m responsible for delivering a People Strategy that supports the overall success of Reward Gateway and creates a workplace environment that enables our people to thrive … ultimately delivering on our mission to make the world a better place to work.

My HR career has provided me with opportunities to work within a variety of organizations in various industries, throughout which, my passion for delivering great employee experiences has continued to grow.

I’m a fellow of the CIPD and LPI, and was recognised on the 2021 and 2022 HR Most Influential Practitioner list.

As the MD, Americas, I'm excited to bring my passion for wellbeing and employee engagement to create the ultimate solution tailored for our U.S. and wider Americas market.

I'm the Co-founder of MoveSpring, a Reward Gateway company that joined the RG family in 2022, which empowers people to live better lives through our social health & wellbeing platform. 

In my role, I am leading all commercial strategy and high-growth planning for the Americas. 

As Chief Merchant Strategy Officer, I work closely with our great retail and partnership teams in the UK, Australia, USA and growing international territories, bringing leading content for the millions of users accessing our engagement platforms and delivering high performance marketing channels for our valued retail and brand partners.

I also have the privilege of leading innovative analysis, insight and global content teams. Prior to this, my Edenred career of 17 years involved leading B2B & B2C marketing, product, sales and merchant teams.

My journey with Reward Gateway began in 2015, and over the years, my role has evolved from Client Support Manager to Client Relationship Team Leader to Head of Client Relationships. As a part of the BG Senior Management team for the last five years, I've really enjoyed seeing RG grow and succeed – and ultimately join the Edenred family.

As Managing Director in Bulgaria, I collaborate closely with other members of our ELT, serving as the voice of BG. I'm responsible for overseeing and optimising the operations of the Bulgarian office, taking overall responsibility for the BG Senior Management team to ensure that BG operates in alignment with Reward Gateway’s wider strategic business objectives, and continuing to enhance our fantastic work culture within the Bulgarian office.

I lead our global marketing team, collaborating closely with the rest of LT, Sales, Client Success, Product and more to cement Reward Gateway's authority and position in the market. I'm a seasoned board- and executive-level marketing leader, having worked with more than 350 businesses in over 30 countries across the Americas, EMEA and APAC. 

My past experience includes senior leadership roles at technology consulting firms (PwC, IBM, PA Consulting) and as the founder of a leading European boutique marketing agency, serving the private equity industry and portfolio companies.
