Formerly Fifth Third Processing Solutions

As VP of Global Product Marketing, I managed the business units that administered the production, launch, marketing, positioning, and support of global product segments for Hypercom.

Managed and marketed the primary product lines for the first ever Global Product marketing organization within Hypercom. Identified products that Hypercom would create to market into the countertop segment. Ongoing support of these products required cost analysis, design to cost changes, supplier negotiation, re-positioning, and customization. A strong sales collaboration effort resulted in market share capture and preferred vendor status with major accounts in various global markets.

During this period, I supervised an organization in support of our entire US client base. This work included sales and sales support activity in promotion of our products and services. This department became a pivotal contributor to the strategic direction of the US product roadmap, providing concrete competitive analysis and using this information to formulate sales generation tactics. I was appointed Product Manager for Hypercom as well to oversee our first ARM9 countertop device. Leveraging voice of the customer, sales and support input, we re-developed the user interface and added new features to the product and successfully re-launched to the US market.

In the first five years of my employment with Hypercom, I held various roles increasing in responsibility. First, I provided account support for both the technical and sales initiatives for Concord, EFS headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee. This included managing a development staff of four members located in Mesa, Arizona and a support technician also located in Memphis. In 2002, I assumed the role of VP of Help Desk Operations at the Horizon Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hypercom Corporation headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri. Horizon was one of the nation’s top full service providers of point-of-sale solutions and services to nationally recognized processors, banks and Independent Sales Organizations. I managed the call center, technical support center, RMA fulfillment, and major account support teams. We effectively implemented an intranet based support system, certificate training programs, and began implementation of company-wide processes to increase efficiency in deployment and service. Multiple disparate were unified and automated to help achieve this goal.Hypercom sold the Horizon Group in June 2003. We then formed a new ISO sales team with an executive sales manager to increase Hypercom’s sales and market share within that US channel. The ISO market segment is difficult to penetrate, consisting of numerous small customers with challenging operational requirements. We developed new bundled services and programs targeted at this market segment.

PMT Services, Inc. was an independent service organization which marketed and serviced electronic credit card authorization and payment systems to small retail and professional businesses located throughout the United States. Through internal development of accounts using telemarketing and a field sales force, as well as through the purchase of merchant portfolios and acquisitions of operating businesses, PMT became one of the largest independent service organizations in the country. This Nashville, Tennessee based company managed a merchant portfolio of over 200,000 customers. Much of this success was sustained by the operational fluency and adaptability of the technical teams. The fragmented customer base demanded rapid assimilation of new business applications and tactics to handle increasing call volume from clients using disparate applications. During mergers and acquisitions my team was tasked with due diligence to gather technical data and analyze the soon to be acquired merchant portfolios for operational impacts. As business grew and operational demands multiplied, we developed an innovative intranet system that optimized customer support and reduced call time and accuracy by placing crucial electronic data onto the desktops of the entire organization.

TIC Financial Services, Inc. ("TIC"), which provided financial and information services for the transportation industry, had annual revenues of approximately $9 million by the time it was acquired by Comdata in August 1995. This Nashville, Tennessee based company issued private label cards to transportation companies for purchase of fuel, repairs, and electronic distribution of payroll. They also purchased, deployed, programmed and serviced electronic payment terminals for a nationwide acceptance network of affiliated truck-stops and repair centers. As supervisor of the call center, my staff of 10 was responsible for managing the inbound call traffic from cardholders and card acceptance locations. Duties also included technical support for the electronic payment devices, management of customer credit limits, and supervision of the data center which processed the electronic transactions for our private label cards. TIC was unique in that it was its own processor, card issuer, and merchant acquirer. As the organization grew, we later provided Value Add services such as state and federal permit issuance.
