Colleagues describe him as "Brian joined us at ChargeSmart during the run-up to our acquisition by VeriFone, and he was instrumental in closing the deal and ensuring a smooth transition. He is an effective leader who can navigate the intricacies of the financial/payments industry in ways that few other people I've met have been able to, and his scope of knowledge extends significantly outside of operations into both product and marketing. I would definitely work with Brian again in the future.", "Brian stepped in to present on Convergence of Mobile and Social Payments at 2012 Mobile Banking & Commerce on short notice, and offered thoughtful insights on disruptive technologies, the value of open payment ecosystems, and the "table stakes" in payments. He offers the wisdom of deep and varied experience, and is a high energy, articulate, engaging speaker.", and "Brian has the polish of a corporate sales star and the scrappiness of a serial entrepreneur. He can lean on his experience in the banking and technology worlds for financial structure insight and solid product and project management skills. And he can apply those skills to the new ideas and start-up concepts that he is constantly curious about."
