Blanc brings experience from previous technical leadership roles, most recently serving as the CTO of fintech company Ingenico. He also served as CTO of Cybersource and CTO of value-added services at Visa in addition to spending a decade with PayPal in the U.S. and Singapore. In his new role, Blanc will oversee the technical direction for Flywire’s specialized payment software, which is used in the education, healthcare and travel sectors.
