Walker will own product strategy and execution to deliver
advancements in the company's accounts receivable automation
technology and payment network that connects nearly a million

Walker joins the company during a period of rapid growth that

with American Express, key C-suite hires, and the introduction of
the industry's only fully-integrated platform to connect AR teams
with their customers and digitize the entire invoice-to-cash
cycle.
"AR Automation yields improved efficiency, but by combining
automation with collaboration you achieve outsized results," said
Craig O'Neill, CEO of Versapay. "Our
Collaborative AR Network is the only solution that delivers this

decades of experience leading software-as-a-service (SaaS) product
teams in high-growth companies. Before Versapay, Craig was
co-founder and founding CTO of Xero, a SasS small business
accounting platform with over 4,000 employees, three million
customers, and $1 billion in revenue.
Craig built Xero's founding product team, technology strategy, and
core accounting platform, and also ran the company's
next-generation fintech and financial services products.
In his new role, Craig will lead the Versapay product
organization with a customer-obsessed approach to advance the
product roadmap, prioritize technology investments, and adapt the
product line for international markets.
"Having spent much of my career focused on building leading
fintech products, I am energized to join Versapay and further
advance our market leadership in Collaborative AR," said
