Glenbrook’s popular Payments Boot Camp® is a comprehensive overview of the payments industry, from the fundamentals to what’s new and on the horizon. It’s a fast-paced, focused, and fun way to get smart about payments.
This workshop will be hosted virtually over three half-days, instead of the standard two-day format. Zoom Meetings will help us replicate the in-person experience (face-to-face facilitation, lots of interactive Q&A, polling, exercises) and extend it through group chat and breakout rooms. Breakout rooms, in particular, will help participants take detailed questions offline or talk one-on-one with Glenbrook workshop leaders.
Russ brings exceptional skills in payments industry analysis, strategy development, and product conceptualization - as well as 35 years as an executive, analyst, and consultant - to Glenbrook clients from across the payments value chain.
