Being genuine and caring deeply about your work is not a philosophy but a daily practice, says Chip Mahan, global head of fintech at Sage, referring to a principle that has guided his career.
Sage is a leading global provider of software solutions for small and medium-sized businesses, specializing in accounting, financial management, human resources and payroll systems.
“In my role I lead a global team of subject matter experts in the fintech space,” says Chip. “We focus on providing innovative financial technology solutions that are deeply integrated into our core accounting software for the critical operations our clients need to manage.”
He adds: “We are enhancing our core accounting through a single platform, which makes life easier for our clients, breaking down barriers and allowing them to focus on driving business growth and providing exceptional customer services.
Chip has taken the same approach throughout his rich and varied career. He was in U.S. government intelligence, serving as an American diplomat overseas, after which he joined Bank of America, managing its corporate and purchasing card program for the federal government.
Next, he spent time at American Express, managing a global organization for its technology sales consultants, both cards and travel.
In his current role, Chip says the main challenges are “pace.”
He says: “It’s about how do we move faster with this ever-evolving technology that’s happening in fintech? How can we keep up with the situation? How can we ensure we provide our customers with what they are looking for in a timely and reliable manner?”
He says the second big challenge is awareness.
“It’s about ensuring our customers are aware of the fintech solutions we have available to them within our products.”
He finds the work extremely rewarding: “We are able to make a huge difference and delight our customers with the solutions we provide.
“We help their businesses thrive and break down barriers so they can focus on growth.”
