Description

MPD has extensive experience in unpacking the complexities of devising payments schemes in developing markets and advising clients about how and where to play. For example, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation asked MPD to develop strategies for igniting the mobile banking and payments business in lesser-developed countries.

Market Platform Dynamics (MPD) advises businesses based on rigorous research and analytical tools and frameworks, combined with practical experience in launching and running companies. We specialize in platforms—businesses that create value by serving as intermediaries between two or more different kinds of customers who need each other—as well as businesses that operate in platform-based ecosystems.

MPD has deep and demonstrable experience in payments, a platform-industry that ultimately connects senders and receivers of funds either between businesses and consumers or businesses and businesses. MPD has worked with many of the leading networks, issuers, and payments innovators. This is a sector, in particular, that is being transformed by mobile and other IP-enabled devices—the impact and opportunity that results has and will continue to have a profound impact on all players directly and indirectly involved in this critically important sector worldwide.

The core MPD team is highly experienced in the payments marketplace in general and in innovation and growth strategies in particular. This team is complemented by individual subject matter experts in areas related to regulation, social networks, mobile, online, B2B and platform strategies as appropriate. MPD principals average over 20 years' experience in payments and platform innovation, new business creation, and global business management.

We don’t build practice knowledge with client investment, nor do we staff projects with large junior teams managed by an often-absent senior principal. We also don’t produce mind-numbing charts and statistics; rather we provide analysis to the secondary data that exists that reflects our deep and strategic insights into the payments space. We also hit the ground running and, given our deep experience, are able to offer richer and more relevant insights to our clients more quickly. We’re deliverables oriented and produce tangible work product weekly.
