Paul Parisi was formerly vice president and general manager of global commercial payments American Express Canada and replaces Cameron Schmidt. Parisi is described as a “results-focused” leader who is tasked with taking the company into the next decade, specifically to bring “innovations to market and further solidifying PayPal as one of the leading online and mobile payment services in Canada.”

“The e-commerce, payments, and FinTech industries are at an exciting juncture in Canada. I look forward to driving even more profitable growth for PayPal in Canada,” said Parisi in a statement.
