John Drechny is the CEO of the Merchant Advisory Group and a recognized leader in payments innovation and merchant advocacy. As MAG’s CEO, he leads efforts to ensure merchants’ voices are heard and progress across the evolving payments ecosystem, and has helped shape the direction of merchant payments and championed the interests of retailers worldwide.
