Over the past 16 years, I have experienced the rapid evolution of the electronic payment technology sector firsthand. From early ERP integrations to the latest in cloud-based payment solutions. Starting at Nodus, a fledgling company with fewer than 10 employees, my career has been defined by technical expertise and strategic sales acumen.
My entrepreneurial journey began on the technical support front, leading teams in implementation and software testing before transitioning to spearhead Nodus's first partner program. This role expanded our client base from 25 to 2,000 enterprise customers and grew our staff from 10 to 110, demonstrating my ability to scale operations. As a key team member in the founding and launch of PayFabric, I played a significant role in its success, a move that led to Nodus's acquisition by EVO Payments and marked the company’s first foray into software acquisitions. My leadership did not stop there; following EVO's later acquisition by Global Payments, I took on the challenge of building and directing EVO's inaugural software sales team, driving new business channels, and expanding our market presence.
Today, as I continue my journey, now an accomplished leader overseeing strategic sales initiatives at Global Payments, I am also leading a partner acquisition team responsible for bringing new partners to the business. My focus remains on driving innovation and market expansion. I develop sales and marketing plans that align with industry trends, optimizing business effectiveness and customer satisfaction.
Some career highlights include:
- Spearheading strategic sales and market expansion efforts that resulted in a 300% growth in partner channels.
- Leading the successful integration of innovative ERP solutions like Sage and Acumatica, which significantly broadened our market footprint.
- Playing a pivotal role in the development and market introduction of PayFabric, contributing decisively to its early success and subsequent customer retention rates of 95%.
Whether it's leading high-performing teams, identifying new market opportunities, or aligning sales strategies with corporate goals, I drive results that not only meet but exceed business expectations.
