Liz Sweeney
Account Manager & Executive Recruiter
IMPACT Payments

They say it’s hard to get payments out of your system, and for Liz, that couldn’t be more true. After 14 years climbing the ranks at TeleCheck and First Data, she spent time as an entrepreneur and leader in the youth soccer world before returning to the fold as VP of Sales Operations at Paya. It was there that she met the team at IMPACT Payments Recruiting first as a client and later as a colleague.

Now an Executive Recruiter and Account Manager, Liz uses her superpower with the ability to find a genuine connection with anyone to help others navigate their careers. When the workday ends, she trades the office for the coast, splitting her time between Maryland and Delaware. Her perfect day starts with early morning iced coffee, a successful thrifting trip and quality time with her three grandsons who affectionately know her as "Glizzie."
