Skilled consulting from a trusted payments adviser

Warpaint Consulting was founded in 2022 by Genevieve Dozier, a payments industry executive who wanted to help individuals, teams and organizations realize their full potential. Guided by a mission to inspire others and provide actionable insights, the company tailors its services for each client, Dozier stated.

"This firm is founded on a long career of relationship building based on trust, honesty and transparency while providing knowledge and solutions to companies and people," she said. "As an individual, you will learn how to find your voice, set boundaries and define your success."

Dozier noted that her consultancy provides market intelligence and bespoke training programs designed to grow team confidence and improve the bottom line by guiding investors, businesses and career professionals in decision making, team building and strategic planning.

Trusted mentor, partner

Dozier credits her strength and ability to overcome adversity to humble beginnings. First in her family to graduate college, she went on to marry and start a family and career. Her payments journey began in 2006 at Truist Bank, formerly BB&T, where she served in leadership roles, culminating in a vice president of merchant services position where she reported directly to the president.

A decade of on-the-job experiences and membership in PayTech Women provided mentorship, guidance and support that helped her advance professionally.

Recalling her early days in payments, Dozier noted she had been the bank's youngest and only female executive. Responsibilities included product development, pricing and strategy for 57,000 merchant accounts processing $18 billion in annual volume, with annual gross revenue of $370 million. In addition, she managed sales training and sales support for the bank's 80 sales representatives.

Additional career highlights included leadership roles at Ingenico, CardConnect, First Data, FIS and Merchant's Pact. She currently serves as director at Finova Capital, where she leads business development and relationship strategy with the company's ISV, ISO and payment facilitation partners.

Servant leader

Thoughout her career, Dozier has been recognized for her pioneering efforts to promote diversity and inclusion and help fellow payments professionals achieve work-life balance and success. She has garnered awards and recognition as a small business advocate and serves on committees at the Electronic Transactions Association, Money20/20 and PayTech Women (formerly Wnet).
