# Ordr appoints Matt Long as EVP of Strategic Alliances

Ordr appointed Matt Long, previously of Checkout.com, Shift4, Nexio and Worldpay, as EVP of Strategic Alliances on 30 July 2025.

[All announcements](https://ordr.io/news)

**30 July 2025**Announcement

**Ordr Technologies Inc.**Salt Lake City, Utah

## What was announced.

Ordr appointed Matt Long as Executive Vice President of Strategic Alliances.

Long brings more than fifteen years in enterprise software and payments, with leadership roles at Checkout.com, Shift4 Payments, Nexio and Worldpay. He has built and scaled sales teams across acquiring, gateway, ISO, PSP, VAR and ISV channels, with sector experience in food and beverage, hospitality, retail and ecommerce.

Ordr is the commerce intelligence layer for live experiences. Not a point of sale and not a processor. One ledger that turns disconnected ticketing, CRM and payment data into revenue for the teams and operators that own it.

> We are thrilled to welcome Matt Long to the Ordr team. Matt's unique ability to navigate the complex payments ecosystem, coupled with his track record of driving enterprise value, aligns perfectly with our mission to redefine fan engagement through intelligent payments. His leadership will be key as we continue to scale our business and deepen relationships with our clients.

**Ryan Bott**Chief Executive Officer, Ordr

> I am incredibly excited to join Ordr and contribute to a company that's clearly at the forefront of innovation in live-event payments. I look forward to leveraging my experience to drive revenue growth, scale our sales strategy, and support Ordr's vision of transforming fan engagement through real-time payments intelligence.

**Matt Long**Executive Vice President of Strategic Alliances, Ordr

## Talk to the team.

Send one settlement statement and a list of what you run. You get a rate review and an integration plan either way.

> Switching to Ordr was one of the smartest and easiest decisions we've made. By moving our payments under Ordr, we gained visibility into hidden costs and started unlocking valuable, revenue-driving data.
