London, UK — 11th May 2021
Gerard Hartsink, renowned industry expert of the payment and identity industries, will become the new editor of the Journal of Payments Strategy & Systems (JPSS). He succeeds the journal's previous editor, Alec Nacamuli, who has served since 2007 and is retiring. "JPSS has become a valuable forum for the dissemination of knowledge and thinking in all aspects of the payments industry", Gerard Hartsink noted. "I look forward to leading its future efforts in publishing emerging thinking, practical advice and developments and in showcasing the research and guidance of (international) payments, cards and identity professionals with a variety of diverse and interdisciplinary backgrounds."
"The topic of payments strategy and systems remains as important as it was when JPSS was launched fourteen years ago," said the Publisher, Julie Kerry, of JPSS. "In warmly welcoming Gerard Hartsink, I am impressed by his excellence and eminence as a thinker in the field and excited by the energy and fresh ideas he will bring to JPSS. JPSS aspires to continue to better serve the payments community, and Gerard Hartsink's appointment will undoubtedly help drive that. I would also like to acknowledge the vision and expertise brought by the founding Editor, Alec Nacamuli, in its early years, developing the journal."
