“Merchants’ unwavering dedication to its clients lies at the core of its success, inspiring bold innovation and a distinctive ability to think beyond conventional boundaries. I value this client commitment very highly and see it as an important vision for our business,” Dyer said. “I am honored to join the company at such a pivotal and exciting moment in its evolution, and to collaborate with some of the brightest minds in the business as we redefine what’s possible
