In this capacity, he leverages more than four decades of expertise in payment systems and innovation to guide organizations through complex growth strategies and market expansion. Mr. Kerwick’s leadership at Beacon Hill Growth Advisors Inc. is informed by a career marked by transformative initiatives and a commitment to advancing the industry.
Before establishing his firm, Mr. Kerwick was a managing director at JPMorgan Chase & Co. from 2001 to 2024. During his tenure, he played a pivotal role in shaping the consumer card business, drawing on his deep knowledge of financial products and market dynamics.
In 2000 and 2001, Mr. Kerwick served as the head of sales at Beenz in New York City, an advertising company based in Amsterdam. From 1995 to 2000, he excelled as the head of sales and marketing at World Access Service Corporation in New York City. Among other notable roles, Mr. Kerwick was the head of northeast co-branding sales at Mastercard in New York City between 1994 and 1995. He led efforts to establish co-branded partnerships that enhanced Mastercard’s value proposition for both consumers and business clients throughout the northeast.
Mr. Kerwick began his professional journey as a vice president at Chase (now JPMorgan Chase & Co.) from 1985 to 1994. It was during this formative period that he developed many of the foundational skills that would define his career, including product management, pricing strategy and regulatory collaboration.
Mr. Kerwick’s academic background includes a Bachelor of Business Administration in finance with a minor in computer science from the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University, completed in 1985. He later earned a Master of Business Administration in marketing from the Leonard N. Stern School of Business at New York University in 1995. The rigorous training received through these programs provided Mr. Kerwick with a strong foundation in analytical thinking, strategic planning and technological integration, which have been instrumental throughout his career.
An active member of several industry-related organizations, Mr. Kerwick has been a voting member of the Faster Payments Council since 2025, contributing his insights to shape the future of payment technologies. Beyond his professional pursuits, Mr. Kerwick is deeply engaged in civic activities and nonprofit leadership. He has maintained membership with the Georgetown Gridiron Club since 1985, reflecting his enduring connection to his alma mater and its community. He has also been a founding advisor for LIGO and a board member for FlourishU.AI since 2025. Earlier, Mr. Kerwick was involved with various other organizations, including his longstanding commitment as a lector at St. Peter’s of Alcantara from 2004 to 2024.
Throughout his distinguished career, Mr. Kerwick has demonstrated exceptional expertise in payment systems and innovation, earning recognition as an industry leader committed to advancing best practices and fostering sustainable growth. Among his most notable achievements was introducing the industry’s first balance-consolidation program while working at Chase Manhattan Bank during the early days of credit cards. This initiative shifted the focus from merely acquiring new customers to capturing market share from competitors by offering promotional, lower interest rates. This strategy has since become standard practice across the industry. Additionally, Mr. Kerwick managed pricing for the entire card portfolio and collaborated with the State of Delaware to change consent laws regarding rate changes from positive consent to negative consent. This legislative shift resulted in adoption rates increasing from 0% to 60% within 12 months under positive consent, and from 0 percent to 98 percent within 30 days under negative consent, with these laws remaining in effect today.
Mr. Kerwick attributes his success to a set of guiding principles that have shaped his approach to leadership and decision-making for more than 15 years. He also credits his ability to quickly assess situations, identify opportunities and implement effective solutions as key strengths that have driven organizational value creation across multiple roles. Looking ahead, Mr. Kerwick aims to collaborate with banks, associations and financial technology firms, supporting their growth beyond market expectations through innovative strategies rooted in decades of experience and principled leadership.
