Nick Telford-Reed, Stormglass Consulting Ltd
A passionate, award-winning technology innovator, communicator, and leader of both people and strategy in the service of great customer experience. Comfortable on either side of the product/technology line, I work to develop compelling visions of the future, to build strategies to move towards those goals, and to build and run engaged, enthused, self-organised teams to develop and deliver products and services to customers.
Beginning my career in start-ups before joining global payments giant, Worldpay, in 2001, I have led engineering and product teams through divestments and acquisitions, crossed the chasm from challenger organisation to incumbent world leader and consistently built process and capability on-shore, near-shore and off-shore with the aim of delivering agile technology and product organisations. I have led engineering teams as CTO of the Worldwide Payment Gateway and latterly led Worldpay’s architecture and innovation teams.
In 2018, my team won Best Mobile Payment Initiative at the Cards and Payments Awards and in 2019, I founded Stormglass Consulting to provide high-impact consulting to the payments, identity and fintech sectors.
At the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) [an international community that develops open standards to ensure the long-term growth of the Web], I am the chair of the Web Payments Working Group, and am also an invited expert in the European Working Group of the FIDO Alliance global identity authentication organisation.
