Run by Masha Cilliers utilising support from a range of independent consultant colleagues
As CFO for the V Group, Services division, I had the opportunity to work closely with Masha on a critical project involving selection of a payment provider for our B2B marketplace. Maritime industry presents unique challenges in terms of regulatory compliance and operational complexity. Masha quickly grasped the intricacies of our business and the specific requirements of the maritime landscape. Masha's deep expertise in payments, coupled with her extensive network within the industry, was instrumental in this process. Her ability to navigate the regulatory environment, combined with her strong connections to payment providers, helped us identifying solutions that were both efficient and fully compliant. I highly recommend Masha for any business requiring expert guidance in payment solutions and regulatory matters.
Masha led a comprehensive end-to-end migration with us, overseeing every stage from the tender to the completion of a sophisticated migration involving multiple payment providers and complex token migration. Her extensive network and expertise were instrumental in ensuring the project's success. Masha also supported us specifically in contract negotiation, reviewing Buy Now Pay Later opportunities as well as fraud prevention solutions. We are really grateful for Masha's invaluable support throughout.
Masha has been helping us over the last year or so as we've been reassessing our payment provider and KYC set up. She has been invaluable in helping us navigate the landscape, understand and negotiate pricing and generally come up with pragmatic solutions to meet our business needs. She is always responsive and it's been a huge help to have her there to support through these projects.
Masha has been pivotal in us reviewing our Customer facing Payments strategy and engaging with our suppliers to review our current solution and provide leadership in our future Payments roadmap. She has worked well as part of our team to engage, inspire and lead them through a thorough 360 review and we have welcomed her deep insight and input with her valuable experience in this sector resulting in a proposal that we have confidence in
I have worked with Masha for nine years as she helped Limonetik and Thunes with her payment expertise and her extensive network. Masha has great understanding of the payments ecosystem, payment products and innovation as well as being able to provide practical help when we needed it. She is also very knowledgeable about marketplaces and alternative payments and has been instrumental to our company’s success in launching new products and partnerships in Europe, America, Africa and APAC. I thoroughly recommend Masha as a consultant and a payment specialist
Masha arrived at just the right moment in our payments project. She did an awesome job of helping us ensure we had the most competitive rates to offer our customers, as well as fine-tuning our marketing messages with the benefits that our payment solution would offer them. She also helped us navigate some of the more technical and tricky parts of implementing the solution in terms of tax etc. Her help was invaluable, and I know the team enjoyed working with her and respected her huge experience and knowledge
