About Koenigsberg Insights

Propelling thought leadership and strategic execution within the financial services and payments industry

With over three decades of hands-on experience spanning all aspects of commercial business solutions, I have led front, middle, and back-office organizations across a diverse portfolio—including risk, compliance, and new product and business development. This extensive background provides a unique perspective, particularly during times of accelerated change.

Paying it forward
is essential…

As the Founder of Koenigsberg Insights, our North Star is simple: to drive responsible results through unbiased counsel and leadership, backed by strategic execution in the financial services and payments industries. With a strong emphasis on safety and security, our expertise includes executive advisory, editorial content, expert witness services, sustainability initiatives, and other key areas.

Paying it forward is essential. A major Tier 1 bank CEO once told me in a small group discussion that we must be “faster, better, cheaper.” In that moment, I raised my hand and added, “as long as each process is defined, measured, and repeated.” Both sentiments hold even greater relevance today as AI transforms industries and quantum computing looms on the horizon.

Philanthropy and giving back provide an important balance. As a Board Member of the Ackerman Institute for the Family, I contribute insights that support their six-decade mission of delivering family therapy and training clinicians in groundbreaking methodologies. This role aligns with my broader commitment to democratizing payments and trade, exemplified by my leadership in global financial institutions. At Ackerman, we strive to empower families from diverse backgrounds—a mission that deeply resonates with my professional endeavors.

Alan recently served as the Senior Vice President and Global Head of Commercial Solutions at Visa Incorporated. Prior, Alan was the Chief Revenue Officer at Traxpay, a payments and supply chain financial technology company based in Germany and also held senior roles at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, J.P. Morgan, and American Express.
