Kevin Knight joins Visa from Nordstrom, where he was in the seat of president of Nordstrom’s credit division and chairman of Nordstrom FSB, the company’s bank subsidiary.
Visa Americas group president William Sheedy said Kevin’s deep knowledge of the payments industry and experience from both a retailer and financial institution perspective make him an ideal choice to fill this role.
"Further, Kevin’s unique insight into consumer needs and trends will prove valuable to clients as we develop products and services to help them grow their respective businesses," Sheedy added.
At Nordstrom, Kevin was managing the company’s credit business, payment acceptance and processing for its stores, and built Nordstrom’s retail loyalty program supported by credit and debit payment products.
Before joining Nordstrom, Knight worked for more than 20 years at GE Capital in a variety of positions with responsibility for credit card and other financial services.
