Paul Gormley is the EVP and Chief Operating Officer of PayNearMe, the Silicon Valley payments company that helps businesses in lending, iGaming, and consumer finance collect payments across cash, cards, ACH, and mobile wallets. He joined in 2023 as SVP of Operations and stepped into the COO seat, bringing a resume that runs from partner at McKinsey & Company to a long run at Google leading Commerce and Payments Partnerships and finance for the Infrastructure and AI/ML groups. He holds a BA from Northwestern and an MBA from Harvard, and is known around the office for long, slow bike rides in the hills above Silicon Valley.
Danny Shader is the founder and CEO of PayNearMe, a Santa Clara-based fintech platform that processes over $50 billion annually for more than 20,000 businesses. A serial entrepreneur whose previous ventures were acquired by Amazon, Motorola, and Netscape, Shader built PayNearMe from a niche cash-payment network into PayXM, the industry's first full-stack Payment Experience Management platform. Backed by $245 million in total funding including a $50M Series E in September 2025, he has spent 15+ years turning a deceptively simple problem - helping the cash-dependent and underbanked pay their bills - into a multi-billion-dollar enterprise payments category.
