Former Visa president and chief executive officer Edward Jensen was appointed to the board of directors of Trintech Group on Tuesday.
Jensen succeeds Wolfgang Heinrich, who is stepping down following his departure from Visa International. He served as president and chief executive officer of Visa International from 1994 to 1999 and is now involved with several venture capital firms.
He also serves as an advisor and director for several high-tech companies in Silicon Valley. Prior to his tenure at Visa International, Jensen held the posts of vice-chairman and chief operating officer at US Bancorp, where he worked for two decades.
Jensen will also continue in his role as chairman of Trintech's advisory board, a position he has held since May 1999. Trintech is a provider of secure electronic payment infrastructure solutions.
"With his 25 years of experience in the financial and payment card sector he will bring considerable experience and invaluable market insights to our board," said Trintech executive chairman Cyril McGuire.
"I'm excited to combine my knowledge of banking and finance with Trintech's innovative payment technologies at a board of directors level, and look forward to ensuring the continuation of their recent successes," said Jensen.
