PayPal has completed a strategic reorganization, transitioning into a streamlined operating model centered on three primary business units: Checkout Solutions & PayPal, Consumer Financial Services & Venmo, and Payment Services & Crypto. This restructuring is designed to enhance accountability and accelerate decision-making across its global payments network. As part of these leadership changes, Frank Keller has been named President of Checkout Solutions & PayPal, with Alexis Sowa and Jeff Pomeroy taking on interim leadership roles for the Consumer and Payment Services divisions.

The company also introduced specialized roles, appointing Anshu Bhardwaj as Chief AI Transformation & Simplification Officer and Antonio Lucio as Chief Marketing & Corporate Affairs Officer. President and CEO Enrique Lores emphasized the need to align around three core businesses and simplify operations to accelerate growth. Consequently, the Payment Services & Crypto unit will consolidate Braintree, SMB processing, and crypto capabilities, such as PYUSD, into a unified merchant offering.
