Checkout.com Director of IS Jo Vane joins PCI Security Standards Council board of advisors

Jo Vane, Checkout.com’s Director of Information Security, has been added to the PCI Security Standards Council board of advisors.

“Representing Checkout.com, I’m proud to continue to work alongside global security leaders to help shape the future of payment protection and trust,” she says.

“As threats evolve and payment systems grow more complex, our role in safeguarding the ecosystem has never been more critical. At Checkout.com, security is at the core of everything we do - and we’re committed to advancing global standards that protect businesses and consumers alike. Looking forward to our first board of advisors meeting and to collaborating with fellow members on the challenges and opportunities ahead.”

The board of advisors has expanded to a record 64 stakeholders to provide a greater range of input to the Council. The board of advisors will also have the responsibility to vote on new standards and major revisions of existing standards prior to release.

“This expanded board will help ensure greater global input into our payment security standards, providing even more opportunities for discussion and collaboration with some of the most innovative voices in our industry,” says PCI SSC Executive Director Gina Gobeyn.

“In the rapidly changing world of payment security, more than ever, we depend on the guidance and foresight provided by our advisors to understand and address the new challenges that confront our industry. We are excited to get to work with this new board.”

2025 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS

Payments will be a key focus area at the 2025 RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards, which are now open for entries, celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”

He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”

“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”

Congratulations to our 2024 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended November's gathering.
