Rob Schonfeld Appointed as Chief Revenue Officer at Paysafe

Paysafe has appointed Rob Schonfeld as Chief Revenue Officer. The move brings more than two decades of sales experience to the payments company, including a long tenure at Activision Blizzard, where Schonfeld rose to Global Revenue Officer and held a seat on the board of directors.

A Track Record In Sales

According to Crustdata people data, Schonfeld has built more than three decades of professional experience across a series of senior commercial roles. The new Chief Revenue Officer joins from Redstone Investments, where they served most recently as Managing Partner, after earlier posts as Chief Business Officer at Ludeo and Executive in Residence at Boston Consulting Group.

The defining chapter came at Activision Blizzard. Starting in 2012 as Vice President, Head of Global Digital and Mobile Sales, Schonfeld advanced through senior vice president roles in global digital and mobile commerce and then in revenue, before becoming Global Revenue Officer in 2022. That steady climb rests on an MBA in Entertainment Strategy and Finance from the University of California, Los Angeles, The Anderson School of Management.

What's Next
