Overview

I launched Keep's card program end to end: Mastercard as the network, PTC as the sponsor bank and i2c as the processor. On top of that stack we shipped digital wallets and physical cards printed by G&D.

I also shipped 3DS, ABU and NVS, and drove new card policies, network compliance and feature improvements as the program grew.

What people said

Recommendations written on LinkedIn.

“I worked closely with Saad during his time as Product Manager, when we were improving our platform together. I'd bring him customers with real pain points, and he'd get on calls with them himself, listen, validate their concerns, and turn it into a real action plan. His optimizations were thorough and made a lasting difference, not just quick fixes. He kept our beta customers updated every step of the way so they always felt heard, and he was just as consistent with me, always communicating and always pushing for the best outcome.”
