Good work only lands when the story is as sharp as the substance.

Fintech leadership with a strong background in crafting and implementing effective payment strategies. Recognised as a Top Voice on LinkedIn, thanks to insightful contributions, influential thoughts, and valuable knowledge sharing within the industry.

My name is Sandra Mianda, and I have been in the payments industry for 15 years. I am the founder and CEO of Paypr.work, a payments consultancy offering Fintech strategy, Go-To-Market advisory, thought leadership, and asset production to merchants, FinTechs, banks, and the wider payments players community.

What sets Paypr.work apart is our unique blend of direct payment expertise, out-of-the box thinking, and creative approach to communicating complex payment concepts. I am really passionate about breaking down industry jargon, making payments education accessible, while offering strategic, innovative approaches that help clients not only understand the landscape but also thrive within it. Whether it's content creation, payment strategies, or project management, my focus is on bringing fresh perspectives and seamless collaboration. Over the years, I've built a wide network of experts in different areas of payments, which allows me to collaborate effectively and offer a compelling service tailored to the unique needs of each client.

Why Paypr.work? Years of experience working with large, small, established corporates and Fintechs led me to take the leap in early 2022 and quit the corporate world to set up Paypr.work. Prior to that, I held a number of commercial roles predominantly working in established payments organisation like Barclays, Paypal, WEX and Elavon | US bank, through which I gained solid foundations in large scale projects payments and expertise in areas such as: • Travel, Hospitality & Airlines payments • Multicurrency And Dynamic Currency Conversions • Multi PSP routing strategies • Virtual Cards • Credit Lending etc

From an academic background, I initially took on some Communications studies in the Netherlands before enrolling onto an Economics curriculum in Brussels, being fascinated by the principle of International Commerce. That led me to the UK in 2006 to pursue a career in Banking ... and the rest is history. Having grown an organic community of 35,000+ followers between my personal page and the Paypr.work company page, I am thrilled to be recognised as a LinkedIn Top Voice. I am also particularly delighted to be sitting on the Advisory Board of European's leading merchants and payments event, MPE.

My focus is creating structure behind the work, helping translate strategic initiatives into organised delivery that supports Paypr.work and its clients.
