About Stephen King

Partner, dad, living in the woods in England. Stephen King is building and leading the Sustainability Solutions team for Visa in Europe. After studying electrical engineering at university, he started his career with Capital One as the Canadian business was just starting. Over the next 10 years, he was fortunate to lead several of their business units and had roles in strategy, innovation, credit, and partnerships. During that time, in 2008, he moved to London where he worked in the UK business and also completed the global executive MBA program at Columbia and London Business Schools. The next decade of his career led him into strategy consulting, innovation, and venturing within the environmental and social sector. This took many forms with an online crowd-sourced trend publication on social business, a partnership called Swarm, and a creative collaboration unit called Wild Labs. It was a deeply rich and rewarding 10 years for which he is grateful for all the people, projects, and gigs that aided him on his journey. Stephen King is now seeking to combine two decades of knowledge by leading a newly created part of the Visa Europe business, Sustainability Solutions. He is excited by this new challenge and eager to see what comes in this next decade!
