Payrails, the modular payment infrastructure built for global enterprises, has appointed Edward Moore as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO). In this role, Moore will lead go-to-market teams, drive international expansion, and strengthen strategic partnerships as Payrails accelerates payments innovation.
Moore joins Payrails from Stripe, where he served as Global Head of Sales – Payments, building the Platform Business and Payments Product sales teams across EMEA from the ground up. He played a key role in the commercialization and go-to-market strategy for Stripe’s core offerings, including Link, Terminal, Stripe Connect and Optimized Checkout Suite (OCS). As Board Director for Stripe Payments Europe, Moore drove triple-digit growth in enterprise revenue, expanded market presence, and built strategic partnerships that accelerated product adoption across industries.
Prior to Stripe, Moore spent 15 years at Microsoft, where he held senior leadership roles, driving large-scale technology implementations and leading the multi-billion-dollar enterprise solutions business across Europe. He led teams with over 200 professionals, helping enterprises and platforms overcome complex infrastructure challenges. His deep expertise at the intersection of payments, software and data uniquely positions him to help enterprises navigate payment complexities and unlock new growth opportunities with Payrails.
“Ed’s deep expertise in enterprise payments, commercial strategy, and global expansion, combined with strong customer empathy, makes him a critical force to help drive Payrails’ mission forward,” said Orkhan Abdullayev, Co-founder and CEO of Payrails. “His experience building high-performing teams and scaling enterprise software adoption will further accelerate our commercial momentum and strengthen Payrails’ position as the payment platform of choice for leading enterprises.”
“I’m excited to join Payrails at such a pivotal time,” said Edward Moore, Chief Revenue Officer of Payrails. “At Stripe, I saw firsthand how fragmented payment infrastructure forces enterprises into costly, complex in-house solutions. Payrails is solving this by giving businesses the power to optimize payments on their terms—across any acquirer, method, or region. With modular, scalable, and PSP-agnostic solutions, Payrails removes barriers and unlocks the flexibility enterprises need to scale across markets.”
Moore’s appointment reinforces Payrails’ commitment to building a world-class leadership team as it continues to scale its platform and expand its impact in the global payments ecosystem.
