3 Approaches to Apply to Your Business's API Program feat. Discover's George Mitry

For this week's API Intersection podcast at Stoplight, we interviewed George Mitry at Discover to discuss approaches that can be applied to any business's API program. George is the Expert Application Engineer - API Enablement & Standardization at Discover Financial Services. The Discover team works with over 1,500 external and internal APIs, which are used to provide cash-back bonuses or card payments. Their current focus has revolved around security as a top priority in their API program, as well as increased demand for speed, digitalization, and transparency. 

To keep up with the pace of development demand, George and his team must remain agile, product-centric and have well-understood boundaries by the business to set the team up for success. We sat down with George to discover the significant mindset shifts he’s applied to get his business leaders and API team all on the same page.
