About


Earl Schaffer


Just like Arnold Schwarzenegger I'm born in Austria and made in America.

I grew up in Austria until I was 25, when I made my way to the US for an MBA. I've always been a petrolhead, every since I was a little kid - I like anything that smells like gas, oil or old leather. I live out my passion for cars, motorcycles and machines in gernal through my project Rennpunkt.

While I have petrol in my veins, I have payments in my brains. I work at Visa, the world's largest and fastest payments network. I've started a sub-community of Rennpunkt called FAST MONEY FAST CARS. This is where I host regular meetups for payment professionals who share my passion for gas, oil and old leather.

I split my time between Vienna and San Francisco.
