The company has appointed Masseh Haidary as payments CEO for the Oceania region.

Haidary's previous roles included executive manager at Salmat, director of government at Optus Enterprise, and recently finished up after almost three years as the CEO at Delv.

Haidary has over 20 years of experience leading key divisions and organisations across technology, telecommunication and digital industries, with a successful track record driving strong commercial results and business transformation outcomes.

"It is an exciting time to be joining Global Payments, and I am looking forward to supporting and leading the Payments businesses here in Oceania," Haidary says.

"The payments landscape is constantly evolving and Global Payments is strongly positioned to capitalise on these market opportunities alongside an industry leading team and the backing of a Fortune 500 global powerhouse."

Global Payments Oceania managing director Mark Reid says that Masseh's alignment to the company's values, culture and customers makes him the obvious candidate, along with his reputation for business transformation and executive-level leadership.

"We are thrilled to have Masseh onboard as he will be instrumental in driving our strategy of significant growth and innovation in the Australia and New Zealand markets," Reid says.

"The team and I look forward to working with Masseh to deliver seamless customer experiences and execute on growth opportunities in the market."
