Before coming on board at BlackRock in 2017, Cooper was CMO/CCO at BuzzFeed. He was previously chief marketing officer, global consumer engagement at PepsiCo, and was a senior executive at Motown and Def Jam.
In his new position, Cooper will lead Visa’s global marketing organization to drive demand for the company’s products, services and solutions. He will guide all facets of the brand, from amplifying its purpose through campaigns and activations to developing global sponsorships.
