The Book On Risk Management in Payments

David Webb is a seasoned entrepreneur and business leader with more than three decades of experience at the intersection of technology, finance, and services. As the founder and CEO of multiple ventures-some celebrated successes and some hard-learned failures-he has cultivated a reputation for turning complexity into clarity, driving growth, and leading organizations through periods of both turbulence and transformation. His career has been defined by a willingness to take calculated risks, embrace innovation, and pursue opportunities others often overlook. David's debut book, Life Unscripted: What You Should Have Learned in High School, distilled years of professional and personal experience into a practical guide for navigating the overlooked realities of adulthood. With his second book, The Book On Risk Management in Payments, he takes a decisive step into more specialized territory. Here, he leverages his decades of leadership and industry insight to address one of the most pressing challenges in global commerce: how to anticipate threats, safeguard trust, and manage risk in a world where money moves faster than regulation. This shift-from broad life skills to the technical, high-stakes architecture of payments-marks not only the evolution of his writing but also the deepening of his mission: to equip readers with frameworks that are as pragmatic as they are forward-looking. Beyond writing and business, David remains committed to mentoring entrepreneurs and contributing to community initiatives that promote education, resilience, and personal growth. Whether in boardrooms, classrooms, or in print, his work reflects a consistent theme: empowering others to think critically, act decisively, and build systems that endure.
