In this role, Seward oversees the company’s product strategy, planning, management and the delivery of market-leading technology solutions to merchant customers.

Expect big things from PayAnywhere with Rob driving our product innovation.”

Seward joins NAB after leading ACI Worldwide’s merchant retail division where he served as a product line manager, driving ACI’s efforts in achieving substantial customer, revenue and margin growth.
