Shuffling suits, unleashing innovation for the masses.
PayPal also created Consumer, Small Business, and Large Enterprise business units
PayPal is playing executive shuffle, creating new business units for
consumer, small businesses, and large enterprises, with a focus on speed,
innovation, and global growth.
There’s movement in the world of digital payments, where the clink of
coins is replaced by the hum of algorithms, global payments giant, PayPal, is playing a little executive
musical chairs. Shuffling the suits is all aimed at fostering innovation,
serving global markets, and growing globally and all the movement in personnel is accompanied by the creation of a number of new business units to better serve customers.
New Faces at PayPal
Isabel Cruz has been appointed Chief People Officer
In a move that marks a new chapter in HR, Isabel Cruz takes the stage
as the Chief People Officer, tasked with orchestrating talent and crafting a
global real estate strategy. Joining PayPal, Michelle Gill spearheads the Small
Business and Financial Services Group, while Diego Scotti conducts the Consumer
Group and Global Marketing & Communications ensemble.
"We are redesigning PayPal with our customers at the center and
creating an environment that unleashes our teams to move with speed and build
the best possible products and experiences to meet their needs," said Alex
Chriss, President and CEO of PayPal. "I'm excited to welcome world-class
leaders to PayPal who believe in our mission and have the expertise to help
scale our global business."
Scotti and Gill Take Center Stage

Platform Group, effective immediately. Both Keller and Bimal Patel, the current
SVP, General Counsel, will join the company's senior leadership team.
New Units
Alongside all these changes in personnel, PayPal is creating three
distinct: Consumer, Small Business, and Large Enterprise. The aim? To harmonize
innovation, data, and platform power into a service that resonates in the
market, promising meaningful growth for the company.
"By organizing our teams into defined business units, we focus on
what's most important to our customers, leverage the power of our data and
platform to deliver with increased speed, and package our innovation in a way
that differentiates us in the market. This will position us to drive meaningful
growth for the company," said Chriss.
After all the movement and reorganization, the stage seems set for
the company to hit 2024 in good shape.

Executive Interview | Dor Eligula | Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer, BridgeWise | FMLS:25
Executive Interview | Dor Eligula | Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer, BridgeWise | FMLS:25
In this session, Jonathan Fine form Ultimate Group speaks with Dor Eligula from Bridgewise, a fast-growing AI-powered research and analytics firm supporting brokers and exchanges worldwide.
We start with Dor’s reaction to the Summit and then move to broker growth and the quick wins brokers often overlook. Dor shares where he sees “blue ocean” growth across Asian markets and how local client behaviour shapes demand.
We also discuss the rollout of AI across investment research. Dor gives real examples of how automation and human judgment meet at Bridgewise — including moments when analysts corrected AI output, and times when AI prevented an error.
We close with a practical question: how retail investors can actually use AI without falling into common traps.

Brendan Callan joined us fresh off the Summit’s most anticipated debate: “Is Prop Trading Good for the Industry?” Brendan argued against the motion — and the audience voted him the winner.
In this interview, Brendan explains the reasoning behind his position. He walks through the message he believes many firms avoid: that the current prop trading model is too dependent on fees, too loose on risk, and too confusing for retail audiences.
We discuss why he thinks the model grew fast, why it may run into walls, and what he believes is needed for a cleaner, more responsible version of prop trading.
This is Brendan at his frankest — sharp, grounded, and very clear about what changes are overdue.
