SPARROW Hires Yuri Anferov as Sr. Development Manager

SPARROW proudly announced that Yuri Anferov joined the firm as a Sr. Development Manager at the firm’s headquarters in Scottsdale, Arizona last month. Mr. Anferov comes to SPARROW after spending the past 15 years in software development in Russia where he led a great number of successful cross-functional teams that built global payment solutions.  Mr. Anferov has extensive experience in risk management, fraud mitigation and PCI Compliance.

As a Sr. Development Manager at SPARROW, Mr. Anferov will focus on a variety of initiatives, ranging from payment security to tokenization and fraud prevention as well as Omni-channel application development. Additionally, Mr. Anferov is responsible for providing technical and product design leadership.  “SPARROW is not just another payment gateway. Instead, it is a completely new way of solving problems for ecommerce and retail merchants.  The SAAS (software-as-a-service) solution streamlines tasks for users, saves real dollars through interchange optimization and creates operational efficiencies for merchants. I have always had a passion for innovative ways to solve problems and it is SPARROW’s mission to do so.  This makes us perfectly aligned and I am excited by the opportunity.”  He declared.

[SPARROW] embraces cultural differences, ethnic diversity and unique new points of view. This provides us a dynamic workplace where our employees can express themselves personally and through their work.
