Strategic Payments Advisory
Advising fintechs, sponsor banks, PSPs/MSBs, and embedded finance programs across compliance, payments operations, and regulatory readiness.
Many consultants understand regulations. Fewer have actually built and managed payment programs inside fintechs and global payments organizations.
Connexem combines regulatory expertise with operational experience across prepaid, BaaS, PSP/MSB, and embedded finance programs — helping clients solve real implementation challenges, not just produce policies.

How we can help your company achieve your goals
Regulatory Compliance & Oversight
BSA/AML/CFT program design, OFAC, Reg E, Reg Z, and UDAAP — built to survive regulatory exams and audits. I don't just write policies, I build programs that work operationally.
BaaS & Bank-Partner Relationships
Contract negotiation, program oversight, and ongoing bank-partner management. I've sat on both sides of the table and know what banks actually need from their fintech partners.
Third-Party Risk Management
Vendor risk frameworks, due diligence programs, and TPRM policies that satisfy your bank partner and regulators — and actually protect your business.
Policies & Procedures
Clear, operational policies that teams actually use — not documents that sit in a folder. Built collaboratively with your staff
Prepaid & Deposit Program Implementation
From program concept to card launch — I bring hands-on experience implementing general-purpose reloadable, payroll, and other prepaid deposit programs. I understand the full lifecycle: BIN sponsorship, network rules, processor integration, and operational readiness. I've done it, not just advised on it.
Customer Experience & Voice of the Customer
A compliant program that frustrates cardholders won't survive. Drawing on my experience as VP of Voice of the Customer at i2c, I help clients design payments programs with the end user in mind — reducing friction, improving satisfaction, and building products people actually want to use.
