We’re proud to celebrate Phillis Hanchey, our Commercial Card Program Administrator, on being named to the Corporate Advisory Board of the Institute of Commercial Payments. Phillis has been a driving force behind our global card programs and a leader in the commercial payments industry. This recognition is so well-deserved! A huge congratulations to Phillis on this exciting achievement!
Commerical Card Administrator at Universal Weather & Aviation, Inc. (Vendor Relations Team Member)
I’m honored to share that I’ve been named to the Corporate Advisory Board of the Institute of Commercial Payments —something that’s been on my professional bucket list for a while! This is an exciting opportunity to collaborate with industry peers, share insights, and help shape the future of commercial payments. My journey in the payments space began in the late 90s, when I was an administrative assistant handed my first commercial card. What started as just another payment method turned into a full-fledged career that I’m truly passionate about. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting and growing global programs, leading innovative projects, and working to make payments simpler, faster, and smarter. For the past 11 years, Universal Weather & Aviation has been a huge part of that journey. Being here has brought me so much pride in my day-to-day career. I’ve been empowered to take on challenges, drive global programs forward, and work with an amazing team to push for innovation. Thank you to the mentors, colleagues, and leaders who have supported me along the way. I’m excited to be a part of IOCP, and I look forward to learning, sharing, and growing with this incredible community.
