Alysha leads the marketing team at the fintech payments innovator Shieldpay.
Previously, she worked her way up to account director level in global marketing agencies, working with a long list of B2B household names. Then she went in-house as ‘Head of enterprise acquisition & upsell marketing’ at O2.
Shieldpay is an exciting challenge: taking a dynamic new brand and technology and introducing it to different sectors of the market, notably the legal sector.
Trusted by firms across multiple sectors, disciplines and sizes, Shieldpay is a leading UK B2B payments provider, helping many of the top 100 law firms in particular with Third-Party-Managed Accounts and Digital Corporate Escrow.
Its multi-award winning platform streamlines KYC/AML and client money processes while providing full transparency on the status of funds at all times. This reduces risk (risk of non-completion, risk of fraud, risk of cybercrime) and reduces admin time for the firm. Shieldpay Ltd is an authorised payment institution and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority under the Payment Services Regulations 2017 (FRN 770210).
