The journey

From service and banking to aviation and entrepreneurship.

“The common thread has always been disciplined judgement: understanding risk, building trust and moving decisively when the opportunity is real.”

Early ambition

Aviation and military service

Bryan began with the ambition to become a fighter pilot. Military service established foundations of discipline, responsibility and performance under pressure.

Banking

Trading and corporate finance

He moved into banking and trading while raising a young child, progressing through major institutions including Barclays, Halifax and Royal Bank of Scotland.

Payments

Merchant acquiring and international growth

Senior roles at AIB Merchant Services, Worldpay and Secure Trading developed deep experience in acquiring, gateway services, FX, treasury, alternative payments and regulated commercial partnerships.

International

Experience across major regions

Bryan’s work has spanned the United Kingdom, Europe, the United States, Asia and the Middle East, together with historic pre-sanctions market experience in Russia. His perspective is grounded in local payment behaviour, regulation, partnerships and the practical realities of entering new markets.

Corporate services

Company setup and international execution

Extensive practical experience in corporate services and international business advisory, covering company formation and setup, operational execution, directorship responsibilities, governance, and coordination of tax and compliance requirements with qualified local advisers.

Experience spans Southeast Asia, the GCC including the UAE, the EU, Canada, the UK and the CIS. CIS experience is historical; current engagements require jurisdiction and sanctions checks.

Aviation

Commercial Pilot Licence

Alongside his corporate career, Bryan trained privately and qualified as a commercial pilot.

2017

Founded Hexopay

Hexopay brought together payments, international relationships and regulated gaming, connecting merchants to payment solutions across global markets.

Global perspective

International reach with regulatory context.

Bryan’s experience covers mature banking centres, fast-growing payment ecosystems and regulated gaming jurisdictions. The reference to Russia is historical and relates solely to experience gained before the current sanctions environment; it does not indicate present-day activity.
