Mastercard Incorporated recently named Devin Corr executive vice president of investor relations, according to a press release. His role will become effective on May 1. 

“Devin brings a unique perspective to this role. Not only does he have a deep knowledge of our diverse business, but his tenure working on several equities’ desks will help continue to evolve our relationship with our stockholders and the broader investment community,” Sachin Mehra, chief financial officer, said.

Under his new role, Corr will be tasked with overseeing current investment relationships, and developing new ones. He will work alongside the management committee, the corporate controller and corporate secretary, to prioritize the information given to a range of stakeholders, the tools provided to investors and the company’s management abilities.

He currently works as the chief financial officer for Mastercard’s Data and Services activities. Corr initially joined the company in 2013. Before assuming this role, he worked on consumer products and the company’s UK, Ireland, Nordic and Baltics division. Before joining the company, he worked for Bank of America/Merrill Lynch and General Motors treasurer’s office. 

He will take over the former roles of Warren Kneeshaw, who recently confirmed his departure from Mastercard. Kneeshaw initially joined Mastercard in 2016, contributing to its investor relations program as a CEO and CFO. He will continue working on advisory capacity and work on special projects through the end of this year. Before accepting his role with Mastercard, Kneeshaw worked in various finance and investor relations roles at Qualcomm, Textron, Nortel Networks and Procter & Gamble.

“Warren has played a key role in the continued growth of the company’s profile across the investor community over the past six-plus years,” Mehra said. “His deep relationships with the investment community – and across the organization – have helped us advance our strategy and navigate a unique economic environment over the past few years.”
