Bio
Donough McGillycuddy Sr. is a seasoned payments professional with decades of experience across some of Europe's most respected organisations, including Pure Commerce, SIX Payment Services, and Worldline. He built deep expertise in Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) and payment acquiring, serving as Pure Commerce's sole European representative before moving into senior roles with global payment technology leaders. That career trajectory — from specialist DCC sales to enterprise-level payment technology — gives him a rare, end-to-end perspective on how payment ecosystems actually work. Today, as CEO of Managed Payment Services, he channels that experience into helping luxury travel and hospitality businesses secure the right payment partnerships for their needs.
