Hoss was an industry leader, a mentor, and a friend,” said Scott Goldthwaite, a 20-year-payments veteran who now serves as President of Aliaswire. “We are strategically investing across the board. With a focused and driven management team now in place, we are executing our plans and able to achieve Hoss’ vision for technology leadership and revenue growth.”

  • Declan Cooney; director of partner solutions. Cooney is a seasoned account executive and has held positions with Worldpay and US Bank / Elavon.
  • Brad Hench; director of partner solutions. Hench, a well-respected veteran in payments, held executive business development positions at Elavon, WorldPay and Atlas Merchant Services.
