White Plains, NY (PRWEB) November 18, 2013 -- Debt Resolve, Inc. (OTC-DRSV), the credit industry’s pioneer of patented Internet technology that provides creditors with one-to-one, online payment, negotiating, and settlement solutions for all types of consumer receivables, announced today that Claremont Ventures LLC, through its sole and Managing Member, Stanley E. Freimuth, has assumed the role of Interim Chief Executive Officer effective November 1, 2013 through at least the end of this year. The agreement between Claremont and Debt Resolve fully envisions and anticipates that Stanley Freimuth will become the full-time Chief Executive Officer in 2014 and beyond. The company also announced the resignation, effective as of September 30, 2013, of Michael J. Cassella, who served as the company’s Chief Executive Officer since June 1, 2012. Mr. Cassella has assisted the company during this transition process.
As Interim Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Freimuth will draw on his long and successful track record in bringing disruptive, technology-based innovative products to market. He is the Managing Member and Founder of Claremont Ventures LLC, a consulting firm that has provided operational guidance, strategic planning, and management services to early-stage growth companies. Recently, Mr. Freimuth served as Chairman, President, and CEO of Presstek Inc., a digital printing equipment manufacturer, which he returned to financial stability and negotiated its sale to a private equity buyer. Prior to Presstek, Mr. Freimuth was Chairman and Executive Director of Tracer Imaging, LLC, a specialty lenticular and 3D printing company, where he led the launch of a unique consumer product line. Until 2007, Mr. Freimuth served as Chief Operating Officer and Chief Administrative Officer of Fujifilm USA, Inc., where he led the transition from analog to digital products in its core businesses and helped the unit reach record revenues.
“Stan Freimuth has the experience, vision, and leadership skills that Debt Resolve needs at this stage in its growth,” said James G. Brakke, Chairman of the Board of Directors. “We brought him on board because he has successfully led companies through similar transitions before.”
Mr. Freimuth added: “I am a long-time Debt Resolve shareholder and I, like many others, have always believed that the company has one of the more innovative technologies I have ever seen. I am looking forward to helping Debt Resolve realize its true potential, which can transform the consumer accounts receivable management industry into a much more efficient and effective Web-based model.”
A Solution for Healthcare Collection Efforts
Mr. Freimuth pointed out that in the wake of healthcare reform, more consumers will be enrolling in health plans with high co-payments and deductibles, and may need help in resolving their outstanding debt with healthcare providers. “I am particularly excited to be joining the company at a point in time when the climate is right for our solution to play an important role in the healthcare industry, where consumers are becoming responsible for significantly higher co-pays and deductibles, which presents new challenges for healthcare providers’ collection efforts,” Mr. Freimuth said. “Debt Resolve has just signed an agreement with a company which provides revenue and cash improvement programs to major healthcare providers across the country and which will offer the Debt Resolve solution as part of its overall medical industry billing and receivables solutions package.”
