About
Ron Lazaro
I'm Ron Lazaro, a payments product leader based in the Chicago area. At PayPal/Braintree, I work on enterprise in-store PIN debit and optimized debit routing. My earlier work there focused on PayPal and Venmo checkout for enterprise merchants. Before that, I led Customer Payments at United Airlines and worked in Merchant Services at JPMorgan.
I enjoy the work that sits between a merchant's needs and what it takes to deliver at scale. That often means bringing together engineering, commercial teams, and external partners to make decisions about integrations, rollout, and adoption. I'm bringing that same practical approach to FlowPayOps and to teaching payments.
