What: Financial Times partnered with PayPal to host a webinar panel discussion with Cameron McLean, SVP of Europe, and Australia Enterprise at PayPal; Sandra Alzetta, VP and Global Head of Commerce & Customer Service at Spotify; Gabriele Griesbacher, Global Director of Payments at Entain Group; and David Pitt, UK VP at SilverRail Technologies.

Why it is important: The webinar discussed how major global organisations are approaching e-commerce in an economic downturn. Executives from PayPal, Spotify, Entertain Group and SilverRail Technologies discuss how they are adapting to changing consumer behaviour in a digital economy. The overall theme of how big retailers are planning to persevere through economic downturn is by providing a secure, seamless, and frictionless payment process for customers.
