In their words

“My own track record lets me choose where I spend my time and who I assist. His unique reputation, abilities and skills are what convinced me to join the board as Chair.”

— Chairman & board member; former Corporate Vice President at a global software company, and technology-company CEO

“He built our retail business past $100M, turning a peripheral product line into our largest revenue source.”

— Former Chief Marketing Officer & main-board director, global cash-technology business

“Very few in the industry can span market growth, customer needs, channel dynamics, regulation, operations, partnerships and cost/revenue analysis — synthesize them into a single coherent strategy, and then execute it. He is one of them.”

— Head of Cash Services, National US Bank

“Most experts are comfortable either in technological concepts or in business discussions — rarely both. He is rare and exceptional in that he can do both.”

— Senior technology-industry executive & board director; former adviser to the UK Board of Trade

“In one person, all of these skills are embodied and applied with rare clarity of vision and execution. The innovation practice he designed and led generated business in excess of $50M.”

— Chairman of a global payments think tank; former Vice President at a global enterprise-software company; adviser to the UK Treasury and financial regulators

“He saw the market opportunity was far greater than anyone assumed, then designed and launched the products to meet it. Work the industry expects to take years, he delivered in months — now in more than 10,000 stores nationwide.”

— Executive Vice President, Major US Bank
