Biography
Brian Clark is the Director of Online Payments at Minor Hotels, where he is modernizing a $150M+ global payments ecosystem spanning 585+ hotels across 50 countries. He leads Operation Money Tree—the company-wide overhaul of a fragmented PSP landscape—delivering measurable lifts in authorization rates, cross-border efficiency, cost performance, and end-to-end guest experience.
His work brings together payment orchestration, localized acquiring, FX optimization, and a centralized Merchant-of-Record framework to help Minor scale like a global OTA while operating with lean technical resources. Brian specializes in simplifying complex cross-border payment and settlement challenges for merchants operating across emerging markets.
With 13+ years in product leadership, Brian previously built and scaled user-facing platforms for global brands such as Target, Facebook, Yahoo!, Siam Commercial Bank, and True Corp. He brings a practitioner’s viewpoint on the hard realities of modernizing legacy systems at scale—and how world-class payment performance can be achieved without world-class engineering headcount.
