Director, Strategic Partnerships

Every time you pay with a card online, tell an AI agent to book your flight, or trust an app with your data, something has to make that safe - invisibly, instantly, at scale. That’s VGS.

As a payments infrastructure platform powering enterprise merchants and agentic commerce, we enable high-growth enterprises to collect, tokenize and send sensitive data - including PII and Payment Data - while offloading the associated risk. Very Good Security (VGS) is the global leader in payment tokenization - securing over 8 billion payment tokens and powering over 80 billion API calls annually. Our modern tokenization platform operates as the silent backbone for critical transactions and elite brands, allowing our clients to innovate without constraint. We partner with the world’s largest card payment networks and cloud providers. And power some of the most recognizable AI companies, payment wallets, and enterprise retailers in the world.

We’re a rapidly growing Series C company, backed by top-tier investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Visa, Goldman Sachs, and Vertex Ventures.
