Theon's official title is Lead AI Engineer at Mastercard, but he didn't start in AI.

When payments are smarter, businesses grow stronger. That's why we're excited to share how a leading North American retailer partnered with Mastercard and Coupa to modernize supplier payments across more than 100 locations using embedded virtual card technology. By centralizing and automating previously fragmented payment processes, the company consolidated more than $100 million in annual spend over virtual cards, paid over 100,000 suppliers without traditional onboarding and unlocked significant operational and financial benefits. The results included an estimated $35 million in savings from reduced supplier onboarding and approximately $1 million in additional annual card rebates. It's a powerful example of how virtual cards are helping businesses improve efficiency, gain greater visibility into spend and create value across the organization.
