Here at AppFrontier, the makers of Chargent. We are excited to build the Salesforce payments platform! Since acquiring Chargent from it's original developer, Jim Thompson, at Dreamforce 2012 we have grown to be over 15 teammates with millions in subscription revenue, serving over 1.5M monthly users. We have done this by ensuring we deliver benefit to our customers each and every time they use Chargent.My role here has 2 primary functions. One is enabling our sales team to be great at their jobs. Coaching and inspiring them to educate our customers with every interaction. We love to compete with each other, steel sharpens steel, we also love being in competitive deals.The second is leading our product team. Since 2005 I have been learning the Salesforce platform, full time. Now I get to apply that 15+ years of learning to making an AppExchange product that leverages as much Salesforce tech as we possible can.It has been an honor to give back by presenting at Dreamforce 5 times now. You're welcome to see my Dreamforce '21 appearance with the Salesforce+ (login required).
