As a founding member of the Managed Services Program, Joe's primary responsibilities include finding, vetting, and securing acquisition opportunities, in addition to managing his regional sales office of Evolv, Inc. Joe started his career in the Payment Processing Industry in 1994 as a District Sales Manager with a Midwest based sales office. With this ISO, he developed a 40+ independent sales team within a 7-state territory, hiring and training representatives. He founded Premier in 1998 and through his leadership has built a reputation of integrity throughout the industry as a top tier ISO. In 2016, Premier became the first sales office to fully integrate into the Managed Services Program, and continues to utilize Evolv for merchant onboarding, merchant and rep support, equipment deployment, technical support, billing and accounting, and digital marketing services. In 2021, Premier rebranded to Evolv, St. Louis. Through this relationship, Joe will focus on the growth of Evolv through acquisitions and capital investments.
