"We are excited to welcome Brian to FreedomPay as an essential part of our team," FreedomPay CEO Tom Durovsik said. "The payment industry is rapidly evolving, and Brian is among just a handful of payment executives capable of structuring emerging market opportunities, complex enterprise programs and forging global strategic partnerships."

Following a year of strong international growth, the addition of Voigt to the FreedomPay team bolsters expansion efforts in Europe and Latin America. FreedomPay projects 2014 to be a year of continued expansion of its high quality product offerings and staff as it harnesses the power of exceedingly detailed data captured by payment and incentive and loyalty offerings, which are being quickly adopted across many industries including retail, financial services, manufacturing and hospitality.

"This is an exciting time to join FreedomPay as it delivers real innovations to the commerce ecosystem through the world's most innovative commerce platform," said Voigt. "Up until now, companies have only envisioned a rapid evolution of commerce, FreedomPay is the only company I know of today, that is delivering on that vision."
