Global Payments Veteran Frederick Crosby Joins Align Commerce as Chief Revenue and Marketing Officer
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) August 23, 2016 -- Align Commerce, the FinTech business that has made global payments easy for small businesses, has announced that long-time Silicon Valley cross-border payments and commerce veteran Frederick Crosby has come on board as Chief Revenue & Marketing Officer.
Frederick is coming along at a time of rapid growth for Align Commerce. “The network of businesses who use Align Commerce for their global payments has really taken off,” said Marwan Forzley, CEO and Founder of the company. “Each month we’re seeing rapid growth spread across Europe, Asia and the Americas. We’re really looking forward to Frederick’s leadership in bringing more businesses into our service.”
Align Commerce was built by a team of payment experts who recognized the wasted time and money spent by small businesses in sending funds to international suppliers on traditional bank wires. The Align Commerce network built a unique “multi-rail” technology that streamlined payment processing to make these payments quick, simple and “as easy as sending an email”. It combines the breakthrough speed and adaptability of block-chain service along with existing payment methods to cover the world with affordable means of moving funds globally yet securely.
“I’m really amazed on how fast Align has grown here in such a short amount of time,” said Frederick Crosby. “It’s a testimony to their innovative approach in solving the needs of small business owners looking to save another trip to the bank bundled with yet another fee to pay. Align put together a modern, tech based, platform that gives businesses a better option to what they have today.”
Frederick has overseen big growth in cross-border solutions before. At PayPal and eBay, he oversaw the retooling of the e-payment and e-commerce giant that made cross-border trade and payments a major growth engine for the company. More recently, he was the Chief Revenue Officer for Western Union Digital leading their global growth in digital remittances.
