"Liberis is at an exciting inflection point in its growth journey, with a bold strategic vision and sharp focus on execution that makes it well-positioned to grow rapidly. My goal is to help Liberis differentiate and innovate beyond commoditised offerings, evolving from being solely a lender to becoming a trusted advisor with real value-add for our partners and their merchant ecosystems."
