Sabre Corporation and Conferma Pay have announced the appointment of Jason Lalor as Chief Executive Officer of Conferma Pay. This follows Sabre’s acquisition of Conferma Pay in August 2022 and its new partnership and minority investment by Mastercard in November 2022.
“We are delighted to have Jason join Conferma Pay during this pivotal year in our payments journey,” stated Roshan Mendis, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer at Sabre Travel Solutions. “He brings extensive commercial leadership experience and a deep understanding of the payments ecosystem. This will be integral in advancing our goal to accelerate the digitisation of business-to-business (B2B) travel payments.”
Lalor brings more than 20 years of leadership experience at some of the world’s most well-known and innovative fintech companies. Experienced in commercial operations, strategy development and partner engagement, Lalor most recently worked as Chief Executive of Square’s European business in Dublin. Lalor spent over six years with Mastercard in various roles, such as General Manager of Ireland and Vice President of European Digital and Fintech Partnerships.
“I’ve already been impressed by the dynamic and inspirational team at Conferma Pay,” Lalor said. “It is clear that its people are one of Conferma Pay’s greatest assets, and I look forward to working with so many of the payment industry’s brightest minds. This is an exciting time to be working in payments, and the new investments have given Conferma Pay the opportunity to be at the forefront of development, which will help ensure that we continue to meet the fast-evolving needs of our customers.”
