I am thrilled to write a recommendation for Cory, who I had the privilege of working alongside at Solo & BlytzPay. Cory is a remarkable professional with a profound technical understanding of payments, risk management, and money movement within the fintech landscape. Throughout our close collaboration, I was consistently impressed by Cory's ability to navigate intricate technical details while keeping a clear strategic vision in mind. Solo was building a comprehensive solution for its users that included incoming and outgoing card transactions, ach/wire, and book transactions. Cory was able digest and model this complexity all while keeping things simple for our internal and external users. His deep comprehension of the payments ecosystem, including the intricacies of various payment methods, regulatory requirements, and industry standards, was instrumental in guiding our product's development. Their ability to effectively communicate these complex ideas to cross-functional teams, including engineering, design, and operations, was crucial for product alignment and execution.
