SignaPay preparing for what’s ahead

In anticipation of an industry shift toward technology-based solutions and ISV distribution channels, John Martillo is on the move.

In August, he moved SignaPay into new offices, increasing their space from 5500 square feet to 12,000 square feet.

This gives the company space to support growing sales, technical support and customer service. The new offices are located at 4100 W. Royal Lane, Suite 150, Irving, Texas 75063.

Martillo also announced the addition of two new Vice Presidents to the company’s  management team. Industry veteran Jason Putnam and technology expert Tom Marsan both bring the knowledge and experience needed to develop and manage the creation and integration of new technologies, services and solutions.

Tom Marsan, VP of Operations has extensive experience in payment processing operations and reengineering. He brings to SignaPay an expanded network of operational and technology solutions with experience in Internet travel, healthcare IT, and at Priceline.com. “The breadth and depth of experience Tom brings to the table is unmatched,” said Jeff Brown, President of SignaPay. Marsan will manage IT, underwriting, risk, customer service and retention teams, and will be the point person for Sponsor Banks and technology partners. Marsan earned two Engineering degrees and an MBA in Finance and Operations from Cornell University.

Jason Putnam, who joins SignaPay as VP of Sales, previously worked for First American Payment Systems and Chase Paymentech, most recently as Director of Client Relations and VP of Sales. “We chose Jason not just for his interpersonal and leadership skills,” Martillo said, “but because he truly understands where the payments industry is going, and the need to forge productive partnerships with technology companies and ISVs to provide merchants with simple, seamless, integrated solutions.”

SignaPay has a reputation for building strong relationships with sales partners and is extending that reputation into the technology partnerships and vertical markets. SignaPay currently processes $2 billion annually for more than 15,000 merchants.
