At MPE Berlin 2026, Jacob Spencer, CRO at BR-DGE, discusses how payment orchestration has moved beyond theory and become a more defined part of the merchant payments stack.
He talks about the pressure on orchestrators to deliver uptime, cost control and a better customer experience, while also making the case for specialisation rather than trying to serve every merchant in the same way.
The conversation also looks at the role of data in spotting performance issues, improving outcomes and shaping how orchestration works in practice.
Jacob also shares what BR-DGE is focused on in 2026, including platform growth, higher processing volumes and expansion into new markets.
