VP of Payments Infrastructure Products and Program Management

BALANCE IS KEY

A supportive environment for pushing the envelope

Deepak Sevak’s team thrives in an adaptive, innovative culture. Recently, they launched a program for the digital modernization of Discover’s network authorization platform, with the goal of building a decoupled cloud-based architecture — ensuring new, more efficient payment capabilities make it to market faster. Despite the constant race of technology, his team doesn’t sacrifice their sanity. “We foster a culture that drives a balance of spending time with loved ones and leveraging that happiness back into work. That drives the energy of an adaptive, innovative fintech culture,” he said.

Our teams continue to think about how to design and architect differently, driving improvement for our customers.

Melissa Douros

VP Digital Design and User Experience

TACKLING NEW CHALLENGES

There’s never a dull moment

Melissa Douros’ design team stays booked and busy. After recently completing a brand overhaul, they are creating a unified digital design language across the organization. As part of these efforts, they launched a new mobile app and got to see its impact firsthand. “It’s rare to see reactions to our visuals, but we did extensive user research and roadshows. There is a smile on people’s faces, a connection being made — that is what we are striving for every day.” Up next, the team will be “eliminating cold handoffs” to ensure every customer interaction is a warm experience.

This team pushes themselves and each other to try new things as we work to deliver the best for our customers.
