Buse, who had been global head of product, will work from Singapore, handling sales and service functions in the Asia-Pacific, Central Europe, Middle East and Africa regions.
Buse's promotion follows the departure of Rupert Keeley, who was Visa's group president for those regions.
Keeley "leaves behind a sound foundation for Visa's continued expansion in Asia Pacific," Joseph Saunders, Visa's chairman and chief executive, said in a press release. "I am confident Elizabeth will continue to build on our success there."
