Experience

1. CEO

   Allied Wallet

   Jan 2002 — Present

   Allied Wallet was conceptualized in early 2002 as a payment solutions firm that offered incomparable security, the widest array of features and functionality, and affordable rates suitable for merchants of any level. In the fraud-prevalent environment that the internet can be, I took steps to keep merchants and their customers safe. I employed a team of intelligent experts and together we sought out our goals on a path to prosperity. Allied Wallet has been growing since 2005. With locations in several countries to service our global clientele, my beloved team is only growing stronger and seeing more success with each passing day. I’m proud of our accomplishments and I know Allied Wallet will continue to thrive.
