David Herrick

David Herrick’s background includes deep commercial US and international experience in both the payments and travel sectors, building and executing a go-to-market strategy for a FinTech company, acquiring and integrating tech startups into large corporates, executing on a disruptive and innovative digital business within a global bank, and successfully integrating and accelerating growth for a US acquisition of a UK-based financial services company.
Working primarily in the Financial Services and Technology sectors over the course of his career, David spent many years with American Express in Europe, leading two of Amex's five businesses across the region - including the Merchant Payments business (working with both small & large merchants across 10 European markets) and the Corporate Travel business (providing travel services and products to business customers across 17 countries).
His portfolio also included the American Express International Digital Payments group operating in the US, Canada, France, the UK and Australia.
During his tenure at American Express, David also drove marketing and co-branded credit card initiatives with European airlines, hotels and large retailers.
Following American Express, David launched a startup digital business and online retailer - the Barclaycard Digital Marketplace (Barclays Bank) in London - using customer data to “drive the right products and services to the right customers,” after successfully integrating a US startup and software platform which served as the technology engine.
Upon moving back to the US, David joined Bosto-based Flywire, a mid-stage FinTech in cross border payments (successful IPO in 2022) and launched their second vertical business in healthcare.
