David Lunt

I am a results-driven payments professional with extensive experience in governance, project leadership, compliance, and strategic planning. I have performed CEO/COO/CPO/CTO/CISO and board advisor roles over the last 20 years at several different companies.

Over the past 20 years, I have been at the forefront of payment-related innovations, initially supporting technology companies for Visa during the lead-up to the 2012 Olympics in London. I have since provided advisory services to major corporate clients, including 7-Eleven, Woolworths Group, Discover Financial Services , and the Victorian State Government.

I have guided fintech businesses in both the UK and Australia through all critical phases, from design and build to go-to-market and pilot, ensuring they effectively navigate regulatory landscapes and make informed strategic decisions. As a board advisor, I am dedicated to supporting companies in driving innovation, managing risk, and achieving sustainable growth, leveraging my expertise to offer strategic insights that align with their business objectives.

My strong management, communication, and interpersonal skills enable me to engage effectively with stakeholders at all levels, while my flexible and pragmatic approach allows me to deliver simple solutions to complex challenges.

I always suggest we have an open 30 minute call to see if we can collaborate, work together or I can support you in a vCXO capacity. I talk to a lot of businesses, some of which I add great value to. Lets see if yours is one of them. https://calendly.com/dmlunt
