Our integrated platform serves over automotive businesses and processes more than 50 million repair orders annually.My journey started in 2011 when I co-founded 360 Payments with a focus on customer-first integrated payment processing for the SMB space. By 2015, I shifted focus to work on channel partnerships, mainly in the automotive industry—building payments integrations with shop management software, DVI platforms, and automotive networks. Our customer-first approach earned recognition with our partners, including the 2023 NAPA Auto Care Vendor Partner MVP Award and positioned 360 Payments as a strategic addition to the Vehlo ecosystem.Today, I apply those same partnership principles at enterprise scale, managing alliances across shop management systems, digital vehicle inspection software, tire dealer management platforms, and embedded payment solutions. My team ensures Vehlo\'s products work seamlessly together and with external partners to create the automotive repair industry\'s most comprehensive integrated technology platform.What Drives Me:• Building strategic partnerships that create mutual value across entire ecosystems• Helping businesses embrace digital transformation through integrated technology• Developing partnership frameworks that scale across multiple products and market segments • Leading teams that put partner success and customer outcomes firstSpecialties: Channel Partnerships | Strategic Alliances | SaaS Integration | Automotive Technology | Multi-Product Partnership Strategy | Team Leadership | Payment Technology | Ecosystem Development | Business Development | Partner Management | Embedded Payments
