This section will highlight an employee of Worldpay from FIS so you can learn more about who's working for you! This month, we present Tessa Douglas.
Q: Tell us about yourself!
A: Originally from the Midwest, I reside in Denver, CO, where we see more than 300+ days of sunshine. I try to maximize our sunny days and in my free time, you will find me in the mountains, skiing or trekking in the backcountry with my husband and 4-year-old Golden Retriever, Walter Douglas.
Q: What is your role with Worldpay from FIS?
A: I joined the partner management team as a Partner Success Manager for Financial Institutions just over a year ago and have had various roles in the payments space for over a decade. I currently have fantastic bank partners in every time zone across the US.
Q: What aspect of your role do you enjoy the most?
A: It has to be the people! From my amazing bank partners to the phenomenal group of colleagues and leadership – the incredible individuals working together as a team motivates, inspires, and challenges me every day.
Q: What are 5 (or 10) things that people would be surprised to learn about you?
- I’m an avid reader, consuming 80 books in 2022. Historical fiction, fiction, thrillers, I’ll likely take your recommendation – my “to be read” list is endless.
- I love yoga and practice five days a week at CorePower Yoga – I am also a certified yoga teacher.
- I just completed my 12th hut trip at the 10th Mountain Division huts which involves backcountry skiing, route finding in deep snow conditions, long climbs with 1500-2500 ft in elevation from a trailhead usually at or above 8,000 ft. It is one of my favorite weekends each year.
- I can recite lyrics across most music genres yet couldn’t tell you the artist 80% of the time.
- The first words out of my mouth after safely landing on the ground after skydiving were, “I want to do that again!”, yet I’m not sure I’d actually do it again!
