David Marsh, First Data
Title
Presenter Biography

Changing the world - or at least changing the payments industry - has been the driving force for David since the TransArmor solution was conceived between First Data and RSA Security. David’s deep security domain expertise and passion for applying innovative technology to create new business models made me a natural fit and a key member of the team that brought the solution from concept to market launch within a year.

David is a Director in the Solution Consulting practice at First Data, focused on improving the security and compliance posture of clients globally as he promotes the secure infrastructure pillar of Universal Commerce – secure payments across any form factor, anytime, anywhere.
"Partnering with industry players across the payments value chain has taught me that the payments space is much more complex than anyone outside the industry can appreciate, but adding value by reducing the security and compliance risk for our customers can be extremely rewarding if everyone understands that better payment security protects all of us."

David holds a Global Executive M.B.A. from the Robinson school of business at Georgia State University, and continues to learn daily from colleagues and partners. He lives in Atlanta with his wife, two sons, and a Weimaraner.
