PayPal’s Rainey: CFOs Must Focus On Customers (Not Just Cash Flow) Amid Great Digital Shift
Sep 24, 2020
John Rainey, chief financial officer and executive vice president of global customer operations at PayPal, noted that CFOs (including himself) have learned to pivot, too, with ground-level, tech-driven insights that move well beyond simply tracking money flows.
To do so they must take the long-term view while being mindful of the intersection and interdependencies between finance, operations and the customer experience — along the way finding new methods to measure and address pain points.
“CFOs get typecast more than other executives as being just debit- and credit-oriented,” Rainey told Webster. “That may have been true some period of time ago; I think it’s very different today.”

Private cloud networking creates public cloud UX on premises
Sep 30, 2020
Organizations can run a private cloud like a public cloud with the help of the right networking and security tools and achieve agility and flexibility on premises.
The public cloud offers agility in networking and security that traditional methods often lack. However, organizations can adopt certain strategies and technologies to achieve a similar level of flexibility in their private clouds, such as full stack networks and rapid security policies with few to no hardware dependencies.
NSX Advanced Load Balancer separates the control plane from the data plane. The controller -- a single REST API housing the system policies -- manages the lifecycle of the data plane and its service engines. The feature set remains the same across all environments, including bare metal, VMs and containers.
"[It] gave us the ability to take a closer look at our application flows. It's helped reduce troubleshooting times and it's also helped provide accountability to the application owners, so if an application's misbehaving, it's a lot easier to find it," said session guest Chad Kotil, senior systems engineer for Paypal.

Executive interview: Sri Shivananda, chief technology officer, PayPal
Aug 16, 2020
Architecturally speaking, Shivananda says:”Each of the workloads that function customers are organised into tiers.” There is a front-end tier, a web application programming interface grade, and a grade of providers that call.
Shivananda says that like other complicated architectures, PayPal’s IT is redundant, organised into multiple areas and is resilient to failure. It’s broken up into domain names and services, and there are currently covering areas like charge and compliance. The services are constructed as microservices, which interact with middleware.

In Brazil and Mexico, PayPal is available as a payment option in the Mercado Pago online checkout for shoppers. And PayPal is now available for cross-border transactions on MercadoLibre. And the company continues to build an executive team and capabilities in China as the company integrates with the GoPay platform, partnering with China UnionPay and other leading Chinese players.
- PayPal's second-quarter performance highlights the benefits of PayPal's diversification and scale and resulting earnings power. The company delivered 25% revenue growth on a currency-neutral basis, 49% growth in non-GAAP earnings per share and generated $2.2 billion in free cash flow.
- Revenue in the second quarter increased 25% on a currency-neutral basis to $5.26 billion. Transaction revenue grew 30% on a currency-neutral basis, the strongest growth the company ever reported. Growth accelerated 13 points year-over-year and 15 points sequentially. Transaction revenue growth was primarily driven by strength across PayPal Checkout experiences, which more than offset the approximately 60% decline the company saw within travel and advanced volumes. For context, travel and events represented slightly more than 10% of TPV in the second quarter last year. In addition, cross-border volumes increased 24% in the quarter, which also supported transaction revenue growth. Other value-added services revenue declined 26%.
