Episode 048 - A Discussion with Dr. Peter Robejsek, Country Manager Germany at Mastercard

Kate Pohl and Steven Batiste welcomed Dr. Peter Robejsek, Country Manager Germany, at Mastercard. Peter told us a little about his business journey, emphasizing the great help and support he has received from some gifted teachers and mentors along the way.  We discussed the card business (mixed results for 2022), the four-party model (Peter feels it is good value for money), and security. Our guest stated that good and appropriate security is becoming a “hygiene” factor i.e., it is expected and must be there! Mastercard strongly believes in cooperation and collaboration with Fintechs for a variety of reasons including good business practice, but also social obligation. It is perhaps not surprising that Peter believes we should all exhibit more compassion… for ourselves and others! What are some of the next big innovations that Peter Robejsek expects in his business? Will machine learning be key? Is the Metaverse the next frontier? Tune in and find out the answers to these questions and so much more. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/steven-batiste/support
