Rob Sabella has joined the company as the new mBanking Director, and Jon Squire is mFoundry's new Vice President of Payments.
Rob Sabella brings more than 13 years of business and technical management experience with an emphasis in the financial services industry.

In his current role at mFoundry, Sabella oversees the mBanking product and is responsible for product development, customer implementation and team management. "Rob's experience in the financial services sector, as well as his strong business background, made him a natural fit for the mBanking director position," said Drew Sievers, mFoundry's CEO and co-founder. "We are thrilled to have him on the mFoundry team. Under Rob's command, I am convinced we will not only further the possibilities of mobile banking, but also discover new ways to reach out to the customer and improve their mBanking experience."
Jon Squire joins mFoundry with more than 15 years of business development and financial services experience.

As vice president of payments for mFoundry, Squire directs partnerships that enhance mFoundry's mobile payments offering. He plays a key role in continuing mFoundry's leadership in mobile financial services. "Jon understands the importance of what we are achieving here at mFoundry, expanding our mobile offerings so they are more suited to the needs of all the major financial institutions," said Sievers.
