RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 26, 2000
PaylinX(R) Corporation, the recognized leader in payment solutions for Internet businesses, call centers and large enterprises, today announced the appointment of Brian Bates as president and chief operations officer.
Bates assumes leadership for U.S. business operations, with direct responsibility for development, sales, marketing, information systems, and customer support. Legal, finance, mergers and acquisitions, will remain under the supervision of John (Jack) J. McDonnell, PaylinX CEO and chairman of the board.
"We're building a solid infrastructure through integrations, sales, marketing programs, and alliances," says Bates. "This base will result in not only meeting, but exceeding, our 2000 financial goals."
"Our customers confirm for us every day that our solutions add ongoing value by streamlining processes and reducing costs," continues Bates. "Capitalizing on this, I see PaylinX becoming the global leader of enterprise payments."
Most recently, Bates was executive vice president and general manager at Transaction Network Services (TNS), a PSINet company, and was responsible for the North American e-commerce division. His role included responsibility for sales, marketing and customer care. During Bates' tenure, TNS grew from a start up phase to a $180 million company, which was sold to PSINet for $800 million in November 1999. Under Bates' direction, TNS captured more than 90% of the dial-up ATM (automated teller machine) transaction market, and became the dominant carrier of EBT (electronic benefits transactions).
"Brian has great leadership, focus and drive," says McDonnell. "This, combined with his understanding of the payment industry and experience in managing a high-growth company, will help PaylinX continue to grow market awareness and market share."
