Top SchoolPaul Allen is a technology-focused payments entrepreneur and software leader with nine years of experience who co-founded and leads Pinch Payments (a Fiserv company) as CEO. He brings deep hands-on expertise in .NET, SQL Server and Microsoft BI stacks from prior roles building PCI-compliant financial systems, OLAP data warehouses, and high-traffic web applications. Comfortable switching between founder-level strategy and code-level delivery, he has repeatedly translated complex payments and data requirements into production-ready platforms.
