I build products that move money. Currently at [Company], I lead our payments infrastructure team, where we process over $2 billion in annual transactions for businesses that cannot afford payment failures.

My focus is making the complex simple. Payments infrastructure is notoriously complicated - dozens of edge cases, regulatory requirements that vary by market, and failure modes that can cost customers real money. I work on making that complexity invisible to the businesses that depend on us.

Before this, I founded a B2B payments startup that was acquired in 2021. That experience taught me what it feels like to be on the other side - a founder trying to ship product while wrestling with payment APIs that were clearly not built with my use case in mind. I bring that perspective to everything I build now.

What I have done:
- Led product development for a payments platform processing $2B+ annually
- Reduced payment failure rates by 40% through better retry logic and fallback routing
- Built and sold a B2B payments company (founded 2018, acquired 2021)

I am not actively looking for new roles, but I always enjoy connecting with people working in payments, fintech infrastructure, or founders handling the complexity of moving money.

If any of that resonates, feel free to reach out. I read all my messages (eventually).

Marcus Johnson leads our Customer Success team, where he and his team of 15 work to ensure every customer gets real value from [Company].

Marcus has spent a decade in customer success, including leading CS teams at two SaaS companies through successful acquisitions. He joined [Company] to build the function from scratch and has achieved a 95% customer retention rate in his first year.

His philosophy is simple: customer success is not about preventing churn, it is about helping customers win. When he is not obsessing over customer outcomes, Marcus coaches youth basketball - applying the same team-building principles in both arenas.
