Sydney Hicks is a CEO at SSHICKS Advisors. They possess expertise in strategic planning, product management, new business development, mobile devices, mobile payments and 19 more skills. Colleagues describe them as "I worked with and often reported to Sydney over a 10 year period as the company evolved from Sterling Commerce’s Banking Systems Division, to an independent company as VECTORsgi, Inc., and to Metavante’s Image Solutions Division. Sydney is a dedicated, hard driving individual with excellent follow up on commitments to her and by her. Earnestly caring about what is best for her clients and employees, she has a personable demeanor that sets her apart from the pack. A dynamic individual capable of meeting changing market requirements, she has proven herself to be a dynamic professional. She approaches her business and life in a positive and selfless way. She deftly balances her ability to maintain a combination of drive and enthusiasm. She possesses the ability to approach each project as if it were her only project and give 100% to all that she does. To me and many others, Sydney’s overriding achievement while rising to and being CEO of VECTORsgi is how she motivated a company nearing the end of its product life cycle to reinvent itself and rise again to the preeminent payments technology company in its marketplace. Recognizing the deteriorating stature of the company before it became evident to many others; she devised and drove the initiatives necessary to cause it to rise again by expanding the product line through industry forming technological change and dramtically increasing revenue. The company was ultimately acquired by Metavante." and "Sydney is probably one of the most influential people in the history of VECTORsgi. She lead the company from a sleepy, maintenance driven software company to a major player in image capture and exchange. She positioned the company for growth (organic and through acquisitions) followed by independence (by securing venture capital) to acquisition by a major corporation (Metavante)."
