Chris Payne

Principal Product & Solutions Mktg Manager for Axway MFT

Chris has worked in managed file transfer for 15+ years. While helping enterprises throughout Europe to implement MFT solutions, he became an accredited GDPR practitioner, gaining valuable experience in providing data privacy and personal data protection advice to organizations across all industries.

In 2017, he started his own reseller business in the UK (whilst living in Norway) – Advanced Cyber Solutions – which eventually became one of Europe's leading managed file transfer and data security providers in the UK and Nordics.

Following acquisition by his closest competitor in 2021, Chris joined as co-owner and Director of Technical and Strategic Alliances. He went on to revamp the company’s professional certification program, a self-paced online training course that helps IT staff reinforce their expertise in secure file transfer methods.

Now at Axway, Chris continues his mission to assist enterprises in their journey to secure file transfer, collaborating closely with global product teams to ensure Axway’s MFT offerings meet and exceed market needs.

Chris lives on the South Coast of England and enjoys travelling with his young daughter and wife.
