“Nick is the vital bridge between technology development in card payment processing and the businesses that seek to understand and deploy it. It has been a pleasure to share the platform with him at many conferences where he has frequently demonstrated his ability to engage an audience through confident and experience driven command of a subject together with humour, pragmatism and charm.”
