In the final episode of season 3 of The Leaders’ Room podcast, we speak to PayPal executive vice-president and global chief risk officer Aaron J Webster, who was in Dublin over the summer to launch the global payment company’s new AI and Fraud Data Science Centre in the city. With more than 100 new jobs, the centre is an endorsement of PayPal’s Irish operations, and a marked difference in strategy for the Irish site, which has historically been a customer service hub for the company, but will now become a base for innovation. #SiliconRepublic #IDA #IDAIreland #FDI #Leadership #Podcast #Tech #Innovation #AaronWebster #Ireland #PayPal #Fintech #Finance #FinancialServices #Cybersecurity #Data #STEM #Science #Technology #Engineering #TechnologyNews #TechNews 📌 Don’t forget to like and hit subscribe for more insights from industry leaders!
