Michael Walsh
Michael Walsh ran CyberSource for the decade that turned a quiet payment gateway into a $2 billion mouthful for Visa. He joined in 1998, took North American sales in 2000, ran global sales by 2004, became CEO in January 2010, and closed the Visa deal months later. He had already engineered the $660 million scoop of Authorize.Net in 2007. Now an advisor and board director, he is the kind of operator who reads quietly and signs loudly.
Bob Donahue
Robert 'Bob' Donahue is a veteran technology and fintech executive who led Authorize.Net Holdings as President and CEO from 2004 to 2007, steering the company through its landmark $565 million acquisition by CyberSource Corporation - one of the defining deals in digital payments history. After joining CyberSource's board post-acquisition, he went on to serve as an independent director at NETSCOUT Systems and Sycamore Networks. With a career spanning senior executive roles at Manufacturers Services Ltd., Stratus Computer, and Celestica, Donahue has been a consistent presence at the intersection of technology infrastructure and financial services for over two decades.
