Payoneer Names Keren Levy President, Pamela Patsley to Board

Global payments company Payoneer announced a number of leadership appointments Thursday (Sept. 9), including the news that its chief operating officer will become its president.

COO Keren Levy has been with the firm for 12 years, and will continue to lead merchant services, one of Payoneer’s newest and fastest growing lines of business.

“Keren has been a strong, inspirational leader at Payoneer for the past 12 years,” Payoneer Chief Executive Officer Scott Galit said in the announcement. “She has been instrumental in driving our growth worldwide, passionately and relentlessly delivering for our customers, and she has been critical to shaping the corporate culture that defines us.”

Replacing Levy as COO will be Arnon Kraft, who brings with him experience from Microsoft and SanDisk, and whose “global leadership experience and commitment to delivering an excellent customer experience align perfectly with our business, as he continues to expand our localized operations all over the world,” Galit said.

This is Payoneer’s second leadership change in the past month. In early August, the company named former PayPal executive Robert Clarkson to serve as its new chief revenue officer. Clarkson has also worked for American Express and more recently, as chief commercial officer for NortonLifeLock.

Meanwhile, Payoneer says it is bolstering its board of directors with the appointment of Pamela H. Patsley, who was most recently executive chairman of MoneyGram International (following a stint as CEO of the company).

Patsley has also held executive roles at First Data Corp, Paymentech, Inc. and First USA, Inc., and serves on the boards of Texas Instruments Inc., Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. and Hilton Grand Vacations Inc.

“Pam possesses extremely relevant executive and Board experience in the financial services industry and we are thrilled to welcome her to the Board,” Galit said. “She joins us at an exciting time at Payoneer, after our entry into the public markets and as we continue to execute on our long-term strategy to be the world’s go-to-partner for digital commerce everywhere.”
