Three members of the Moneris Finance Team featured in a graphic promoting an employee spotlight.

In this employee spotlight, we celebrate Finance team members Shirish Nene, Santiago Tabares Gil and Seema Naeem, whose career journeys reflect the collaborative culture that fuels growth at Moneris.

At Moneris, our Finance team helps power the decisions that drive our business forward. We're proud to spotlight three outstanding team members, Santiago Tabares Gil, Shirish Nene and Seema Naeem, whose unique career journeys reflect the growth opportunities, supportive culture and collaborative spirit that make Moneris a great place to build a career.

Growth through opportunity

For Seema Naeem, who is approaching 15 years at Moneris, one of the most rewarding aspects of her career has been the opportunity to continually evolve and explore different areas of the business. Beginning her career in Operational Risk, she later moved into Treasury and Settlement, Controllership, Revenue Assurance and now Strategic Finance.

 

"Payments are complex and always evolving, so there's always something new to learn. I've been fortunate to work with supportive leaders and colleagues who have encouraged my growth throughout my career." – Seema Naeem

 

Additionally, for Santiago Tabares Gil, a newcomer to Canada when he joined Moneris, the organization offered an opportunity to build a career with a respected Canadian company while working alongside colleagues from diverse backgrounds.After joining Moneris as a Pricing Analyst, he recently earned a promotion to Pricing Manager, reflecting his growth and contributions to the team.

 

"Moneris has given me opportunities to learn, take on new challenges and grow professionally. The support from leaders and colleagues has helped me develop skills that will continue to shape my future career."  – Santiago Tabares Gil

 

Similarly, Shirish Nene has experienced firsthand the value of career development at Moneris. After starting as a co-op student, he progressed through a variety of increasingly challenging roles and now serves as Cost Optimization Manager, partnering with teams across the organization and supporting key business initiatives.

 

"My managers have consistently challenged me, supported my development and encouraged me to pursue opportunities that helped me learn and grow." – Shirish Nene

A culture built on collaboration

While each journey is unique, all three employees shared a common theme when reflecting on what keeps them at Moneris: the people. From supportive leaders and collaborative teammates to opportunities for mentorship and growth, relationships remain at the heart of the employee experience.


Seema highlighted the collaborative culture that helped her complete her CPA designation while balancing work and professional development. Meanwhile, Santiago spoke about the diverse perspectives he encounters every day and how those connections have enriched his experience. Similarly, Shirish noted that his teammates are often the first thing he mentions when reflecting on what makes Moneris a great place to work.

Advice for future Moneris team members

When asked what advice they would offer to someone considering a career at Moneris, their responses reflected the same spirit of growth and curiosity that has shaped their own journeys. 

Their collective advice:

  • Stay curious and keep learning.
  • Build strong relationships across teams.
  • Embrace challenging opportunities.
  • Be proactive in seeking out growth experiences.
  • Bring your authentic self to work every day.

As Santiago shared, Moneris encourages employees to be themselves and contribute their unique perspectives. That authenticity, combined with a willingness to learn and collaborate, helps create an environment where people can thrive.
