Exploring the evolution of payments with Judith McGuire, SVP of Global Products at Discover Global Network

Expectations for instant gratification permeate every aspect of consumer behavior. This extends beyond products or services to payments, where consumers expect swift, hassle-free processes that align with their fast-paced lifestyles and the convenience of modern technology.

With Capital One’s acquisition of Discover on the horizon, I spoke with Judith McGuire, SVP of Global Products at Discover Global Network, about the evolution of the payments industry over the past decade, how Discover is adapting to meet consumer demands in payment processing, and her journey as a woman executive in payments.

Bringing over two decades of experience in the payments sector to the table, in her role as Senior Vice President of Global Products at Discover, Judith applies her expertise to develop solutions and address customer needs. Her journey within Discover, spanning from working on PULSE to her current role, has seen her undertake a range of positions with diverse responsibilities.

How does Discover address evolving consumer demands in payments and how does the product team tackle these challenges?
