Saylent Technologies Appoints Paul Albright Sales Director
Debit Card Expert Joins Saylent from Capital One
FRANKLIN, MA - March 17, 2008 - Saylent Technologies, Inc., a pioneering provider of payment intelligence systems that optimize card portfolios for financial institutions, announced today that Paul Albright has joined the company as Sales Director. With over 12 years of sales and business development experience in payment systems, most recently with Capital One N.A., Albright will help expand Saylent’s customer base of leading banks, credit unions, card issuers, and service providers.
In his previous role as Debit Card Senior Product Manager at Capital One N.A., a subsidiary of Capital One Financial Corp. (NYSE:COF) and a top 10 financial institution issuer, Albright was a subject matter expert who had P&L responsibility for Consumer and Business Debit Card Programs. He also held senior sales and product management roles at eCommLink, Inc., Electronic Payment Solutions, Financial Payments L.P., and PULSE EFT Association.
“Paul strengthens our team by bringing his unique expertise in debit cards and payment systems to Saylent,” said Russell Prettitore, Vice President of Sales, who joined Saylent Technologies last year from MasterCard International. “His successful track record at Capital One is a tremendous asset as we continue to drive sales of our market-leading payment solutions.”
“Having managed a debit portfolio and worked with card issuers and service providers over the years, I have experienced first-hand the difficulty in managing the integration of data sources to gain a complete picture of a payments portfolio. Saylent’s Y-Debit™ is the solution portfolio managers have been looking for,” Albright stated upon joining the Saylent team.
Albright will be responsible for helping increase sales of Saylent’s Y-DebitTM software, which helps financial institutions drive profitable growth. By connecting data from disparate systems, Y-Debit provides valuable insights on cardholder usage and portfolio trends.
