Auriemma Welcomes Managing Director and General Counsel to Senior Leadership Team

(New York, NY): Auriemma is proud to announce the addition of Mindy Harris as Managing Director and General Counsel, starting November 1, 2017. She joins Auriemma from Nordstrom Bank, where she was SVP, General Counsel and Compliance Officer.

Harris will contribute to client engagements across Auriemma’s existing four lines of business with her vast knowledge and experience overseeing the regulatory compliance function at card issuers and negotiating a diverse array of contracts including card partnership agreements.

“Mindy will elevate our game as we support clients trying to navigate the complex burdens of regulatory compliance issues in today’s environment,” said Marc Sacher, EVP at Auriemma. “She understands how that influences ongoing operations, as well as how those obligations impact partnership structures among issuers, brand partners, and even third-party investors.”

Harris also will serve as General Counsel for Auriemma. In this role, Harris will advise the firm on legal, regulatory and compliance matters and will be responsible for the firm’s legal affairs.

“Auriemma is admired as a trusted advisor to the consumer credit card and payments industries,” said Harris.  “I am delighted to join Auriemma at this exciting time of sweeping change across the financial services landscape. I look forward to working alongside Auriemma’s outstanding team of industry experts as they drive ongoing innovation and success for our clients.”

In her previous role at Nordstrom Bank, Harris built and led high-performing legal, compliance, and enterprise risk management teams that supported Nordstrom’s co-brand card programs and bank.

Before joining Nordstrom Bank, Harris served as in-house counsel focusing on credit cards and consumer payment systems at banks and servicers including U.S. Bank, Plus System, Inc. and Rocky Mountain BankCard System.  She is a board member and past president of the Credit Card Bank Compliance Association.

Auriemma Launches CAMBER, a Searchable Research Portal

(New York, NY):  Auriemma Group’s consumer studies will now be more widely and immediately accessible to its subscriber base, thanks to CAMBER, a newly developed searchable research portal.  This new self-serve option gives subscribers greater accessibility to Auriemma’s research—Cardbeat®, Cardbeat UK, The Payments Report, and Mobile Pay Tracker.

Subscribers can search through research published since 2015 and download abstracts as well as full issues within the company’s subscription. As a new offering, CAMBER brings the subscriber experience into the digital age without replacing the high-touch, personalized service subscribers have come to expect from Auriemma.

Self-serve: Subscribers now have a library at their fingertips, shortening the lag time between request and receiving relevant data.

Digital access: Finding relevant payments data is more convenient than ever, with more visibility into the subscribing company’s publications. In addition, subscribers will be able to view abstracts of all research publications, including topics their company may not currently subscribe to.

New search capabilities: Users can now search with more granularity across hundreds of data sets and reports, with topics spanning rewards cards, mobile payments, top-of-wallet selection and more.

This is the first stage in a multi-year digital roadmap for Auriemma publications. Future iterations will include enhanced search functionality, a topic request wizard, and webinar downloads.
