“We are here because we’ve got more than 70 FinTech and payment companies here,” Visa Head of Global Client Services Elizabeth Rector said. And because of the city’s concentration of colleges and universities, she added, that in coming to Atlanta, Visa now has access to one of the best talent pools in America.
“With Atlanta, we think it’s really important to put our people, when we can, near big concentrations of business, and put our people close to clients. That’s in large part why my role is here and why we’re building the office here,” Rector said.
