COPENHAGEN, Denmark, April 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Money 20/20 EUROPE -- OmnyPay, the leader in one-step redemption of loyalty rewards, coupons, and offers during payment on mobile, announced today that MasterCard senior executive Mung Ki Woo will be joining OmnyPay's leadership team in the role of Chief Partnerships and International Officer. Woo brings more than two decades of digital commerce expertise to the team, which he will apply to his new role by helping brands evolve with consumer purchasing patterns in ways that were previously unfeasible.

"OmnyPay's technology embraces the evolution in consumer expectations in ways that enable brands to deliver vibrant new shopping experiences that increase customer loyalty and revenue."

Prior to joining OmnyPay, Woo served as an Executive Vice President of MasterCard and led the development of mobile product platforms around the globe. His teams built tokenization services used by Apple Pay, Android Pay, and Samsung Pay. He previously served as Vice President of Electronic Payments and Transactions at Orange, where he created the "Orange Money" mobile payment program across Africa and The Middle East. The program had 10 million customers and 4 billion Euros worth of transactions as of 2014. Woo also guided the deployment of mobile contactless services in Orange's European operations. He is a graduate of Ecole Polytechnique and Telecom ParisTech and speaks three languages. Woo is also a Visiting Professor in the Design Management Program at the Pratt Institute.

"We are ecstatic to have Mung Ki join our team. OmnyPay continues to experience strong demand from large retailers who want to increase customer loyalty and deliver innovative, omni-channel shopping services," said Ashok Narasimhan, CEO and cofounder. "His wealth of experience delivering digital commerce solutions will enable OmnyPay to stand on the shoulders of giants, to serve large retailers and other brands effectively in international markets."
