About me (please also add an image to your profile):
Menekse Gencer founded mPay Connect, a consulting service for clients seeking to launch mobile payments. mPay Connect specializes in providing assistance in Strategy, Business Development and Product Planning. Prior to founding mPay Connect, Menekse led PayPal Mobile’s Business Development efforts. During this time, she secured PayPal’s first Mobile Network Operator deal and launched PayPal Send Money on Sprint’s mobile wallet. Previously, she ran Gateway’s Product Planning Division for Enterprise Software.
mPay Connect’s roster of clients includes Citigroup/SKTelecom and their joint venture mobile banking platform, Wells Fargo, a prepaid mobile network operator whose customer base is unbanked, and EARN, a non-profit catering to the under-banked.
Menekse began her career consulting to mobile network operators in Europe and later worked with high tech companies in Silicon Valley, followed by global financial institutions. With the convergence of these three industries for Mobile Financial Services, she is able to draw on her sixteen years of experience to provide unique perspectives around this complex ecosystem.
Menekse has an MBA from Wharton and a BA from Harvard University and was previously featured on the cover of Fortune Small Business Magazine. She is the founder of the Mobile Payments Series initiative in San Francisco/Silicon Valley with Harvard Business School and Wharton MBA Alumni Clubs and a speaker at Money Mobile Transfer conferences in The Middle East, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Africa.
