# About Alex Dewison

Turning Payments from a transaction into an Experience

I am an enthusiastic and results-driven product management professional specialising in the Fintech and payments space. My core expertise lies in navigating complex challenges, driving execution, and tackling zero-to-one problems with innovative, simplified, and user-centric solutions.

As a Head of API Experience – Single In at Global Payments, I lead a team of Product Managers responsible for supporting the Omnichannel Single-in API Experience Globally. My background includes a role as ePOS Strategy Lead for the UK market at Teya and six years at Worldpay, where I led multiple teams and products within the card payments domain.

I thrive in the dual role of player and coach, guiding visionary product teams and mentoring others on product thinking, metrics, and effective execution strategies. Driven by an unwavering passion for the industry, I possess the well-rounded technical understanding needed to leverage hypothesis generation for problem-solving across both large-scale and startup environments.

I was recently featured on the Global Payments website in “From Individual Contributor to Strategic Leader,” highlighting my product leadership journey. Check it out here: Link
