In this role, Preuss will lead the strategy and execution of Payouts Network’s real-time disbursement solutions, driving product innovation, and deepening partner integrations.
With more than 15 years of experience in fintech and payments, Preuss brings expertise in building scalable payment offerings, managing complex integrations, and delivering intuitive user experiences.
