About Tralon Thomas

Relationship Manager specializing in point of sales, payments technologies, and SaaS solutions, with a proven foundation in Fortune 50 sales leadership, territory management, team development, customer relationships, market growth and full-cycle B2B sales execution.At Global Payments X Worldpay I operate as the B2B Relationship Manager of a defined territory, owning the entire sales lifecycle—from cold prospecting and discovery to product demonstrations, negotiation, and close. I partner directly with small and mid-sized business owners across restaurant, retail, stadiums, enterprises, service verticals and a variety of merchants delivering SaaS-based POS, e-commerce and integrated payment solutions through Genius® that streamline operations, enhance customer experience, and drive measurable revenue growth. My approach is consultative and data-driven, positioning payments and software as strategic growth levers rather than transactional tools. This aligns closely with Global Payments/ Worldpay mission to enable commerce through secure, innovative technology and allows me to support clients with go-to-market thinking, operational efficiency, and long-term scalability.Previously, I developed my leadership foundation within Fortune 50 environment at PepsiCo/Frito-Lay, where I oversaw large multi-account territories, managed sales representatives and performance across 100+ customer relationships, and led initiatives focused on territory turnaround, revenue expansion, and operational efficiency. I was frequently tasked with stabilizing underperforming markets and rebuilding pipelines into sustainable, profitable growth. Prior to PepsiCo/ Frito-Lay I was a Sales Management Trainee in Fortune 100 corporation Enterprise Mobility. In my role at Enterprise I was able to utilize my MBA expertise in a highly competitive car rental industry right out of college getting both Sales and Leadership experience that lead to my transition to PepsiCo fast track District Sales Leader program. My 2026 transition into fintech and SaaS is intentional. I am expanding my technical and product expertise while applying proven leadership, execution, and market-building skills in a faster-paced, entrepreneurial sales environment. Long-term, I am focused on progressing into senior sales, business strategy or commercial leadership roles where I can scale teams, markets, and revenue.As a former Division I athlete, I bring a competitive, coachable mindset grounded in preparation, resilience, accountability, adaptability and continuous improvement.
