Global Payment Account Manager @ Gilbarco Veeder-Root & Invenco | NACS Supplier Committee Member | Canton Chamber Twenty Under 40

“Better is not something you wish, it’s something you become.” - Jim Rohn I pursue challenges and aggressive goals as top sales performer. Creating close relationships with current and prospective clients, I negotiate tough deals and drive revenue. My success is motivated by my vigor for life and determination to stay on top of the game. I mentor others to achieve success. A few career highlights: Pushing Invenco on the sales side to be acquired by Gilbarco. Joining JUXTA pre-launch and successfully placing two of the first autonomous stores in the US and Canada. One of my most significant achievements occurred at ZipLine. I signed RaceTrac to a three-year deal in 2019, one of ZipLine's biggest sales in 15 years. I had studied their operations from my days at BellStores, admiring them as a company and their methods. The ability to work closely with the RaceTrac’s loyalty and payment teams to establish an ACH card program for all stores was a personal and professional achievement. I am known as meticulous, confident, disciplined, personable and adaptable. I compete to win, finding an avenue to get from “No” to “Yes!” Areas of Expertise • Leadership and Management • Startups & Acquisitions • Data Analytics • Personable, Valuing Trust and Integrity • Sales and Marketing • Retail Expertise • AI Powered Retail // Autonomous Retail • Cloud & SaaS Sales • Consultative Sales • Superior Communication at all levels • Point of Sale Options within multiple verticals • Payments, Processing, ACH • Loyalty Program Construction • C-Store Operations • Complex Negotiation • eMobility / EV Hardware & Software Infrastructure • FinTech • Translating complex concepts to align with audience knowledge • Innovative • Crypto • NFTs Industries: Convenience store, Financial Services/FinTech, Crypto & NFTs, CPG, Events, Copywriting, Foodservice, Advertising, Experiential Marketing Contact information: jakepatton1@gmail.com | 330.933.5401
