This webinar explains how to best go about identifying and then retaining the right expert for any given situation.

CHICAGO (PRWEB)
September 12, 2019

About the Series: Valuation experts are commonly used by market participants to determine the price they are willing to pay or receive to transact a sale of a security, a business or a discrete asset. Valuations can be performed on assets such as equities, options, or business enterprises. They can also be performed on intangible assets such as patents and trademarks, or liabilities such as debt and contingent consideration. The concept of valuation permeates the business and legal world on a daily basis. Given the importance of valuation, it seems incongruous that two perfectly competent valuation professionals can conclude on significantly different values for the same subject interest. This webinar series addresses this and, more broadly, discusses how valuation experts go about their work.

About the Episode: Deal lawyers and business people alike often have to look to a valuation expert to assist in understanding value in various non-litigation settings. This may happen in connection with corporate spin-offs, shareholder buyouts, bulk assets sales, and a host of other contexts in which assets must be sold or valued without the benefit of being tested by the market. This webinar explains how to best go about identifying and then retaining the right expert for any given situation.

Nomis’ technical presence in the Cleveland area will be led by Yang Wang, Ph.D., director of modeling at Nomis, and a graduate of Cleveland Case Western Reserve.

We’re proud to be among those in the business community that are supporting Cleveland and contributing to its resurgence.

BRISBANE, Calif. (PRWEB)
September 10, 2019

Nomis Solutions, an innovative fintech company focused on ensuring on-going value creation for the world’s smartest financial institutions, is expanding its presence in the Midwest with the opening of a Center of Excellence in Cleveland, Ohio. The move signals the company’s intention to tap local science and math talent and extend its leadership in design and development of advanced mathematical models used by banks to optimally price rates for deposits and loans.

Nomis’ technical presence in the region will be led by Yang Wang, Ph.D., director of modeling at Nomis, and a graduate of Cleveland Case Western Reserve. Prior to joining Nomis two years ago, she held senior analytical and modeling roles at local banks KeyBank and PNC. She has already recruited several graduates from local universities, and is looking for additional hires in the months ahead.

“Retail banks are continually looking for ways to attract new customers and retain their most valuable customers,” said Wang. “The days of a team in the back office using spreadsheets to determine what rates to offer are long gone. Today it’s an arms race in which the bank that has the most advanced modeling software is best positioned to identify and target customers with the optimum mix of right-priced products. The Cleveland region offers us a location to expand our technical capabilities.”

The appeal of Cleveland as a science and math hub is complemented by the city’s concentration of large retail banks. More than 30 banks compete in the Cleveland MSA alone, including KeyBank, Huntington Bank, PNC Bank, Fifth Third Bank, Citizens Bank, and U.S. Bank. Bank of America recently announced its intention to build a large presence in the area.

“We’re proud to be among those in the business community that are supporting Cleveland and contributing to its resurgence,” said Frank Rohde, CEO of Nomis. “We plan to further invest in the Cleveland office, which will become a regional hub of technical expertise and a base from which we can build relationships with innovative banks looking to sharpen their products and offers.”

About Nomis Solutions

Nomis is a fast-growing fintech and price optimization pioneer that is enabling the world’s smartest financial institutions to drive sustained, profitable growth through end-to-end customer-centric pricing capabilities. We do so through our market-leading, cloud-native Nomis Platform™ and team of experts, bringing together cutting-edge big data, machine learning, AI and mission-critical software with deep expertise in consumer behavior, pricing and the financial services industry.

Paul Elliott, Tiger Pistol CEO

AUSTIN, Texas (PRWEB)
September 10, 2019

Tiger Pistol, Inc., the only social advertising platform that delivers local activation at global scale, recently announced a series of strategic leadership moves that align the talent and experience required to guide the next phases of aggressive growth and innovation.

Paul Elliott joins Tiger Pistol as Chief Executive Officer, following the strategic investment by Next Sparc, a Cleveland, Ohio-based private investment firm. Elliott replaces Tiger Pistol co-founder Steve Hibberd, who will continue on the board of advisors in an active role supporting Elliott and the leadership team.

Previously, as President of BrandMuscle, a national-to-local software and services company, Elliott was responsible for innovating, enhancing, and delivering the future of BrandMuscle’s integrated marketing platform. He has also held senior leadership positions in several large digital agencies, and successfully built and sold his search engine marketing agency, which ultimately became part of Razorfish. Prior to starting his agency, Elliott served as the Director of Digital Marketing for the specialty retailer, Things Remembered, and began his career as a business process consultant with IBM.

“Before joining Tiger Pistol, I had the phenomenal opportunity to experience the business through the lens of a customer,” said Elliott. “In my prior role, we engaged Tiger Pistol to help us solve a real challenge that was impacting our ability to profitably grow and scale our social advertising offering. Through our partnership with Tiger Pistol, we completely eliminated the obstacles that were inhibiting our growth in this channel. As I learned and experienced more from Tiger Pistol, I saw an innovative, entrepreneurial, smart, and scrappy team and culture that I realized I had to be part of. With additional support and investment, I knew this company could be an even more valuable partner to Facebook and our clients, unlocking the value and efficiency of social advertising at scale for global brands, resellers, and agencies.”

“Paul is one of the brightest minds in digital advertising, and I’m fortunate to have worked with him in different capacities for nearly 20 years.” said Leonard Pagon, Chairman and CEO, Next Sparc, Inc. “I was actively looking for the chance to work together again, and the Tiger Pistol opportunity, product offering, and situation is the perfect fit for Paul’s unique experience and entrepreneurial leadership.”

In addition, Reid Sheppard joins Tiger Pistol as Senior Vice President, Engineering. Sheppard has nearly two decades of experience leading teams in developing and implementing complex technology solutions and systems. Prior to Tiger Pistol, Sheppard served as Vice President, Technology at Robots and Pencils, a global digital innovation firm; Senior Technology Manager at OverDrive, Inc, where he was responsible for the delivery and support of mobile applications for virtual libraries; and Senior Application Development Manager at Progressive Insurance, where he was responsible for large-scale project delivery, complex system architecture, and internal capability advancement. Reid’s skills include agile methodologies, test automation, Android development, and the software development life cycle.

Since acquiring the business in Q1 2019, investment in talent has been a key theme. To complement its outstanding existing team members, Tiger Pistol has added nearly twenty-five key resources to the business, including additional depth in engineering, quality assurance, client management and support, data and analytics, product management, finance, marketing, and talent management.

To further optimize the business, and enhance overall client delivery excellence and ongoing support, veteran Tiger Pistol team members Talia Wachtel and Casey Zaffin have been promoted to VP, Client Management – Brands and VP, Client Management – Resellers, respectively. Wachtel, who holds extensive experience working with national and global brands to generate meaningful business results from social advertising, will oversee the company’s client management and marketing services teams for Tiger Pistol’s enterprise brand clients. Zaffin, who holds more than a decade of experience in digital marketing automation, will oversee the company’s client management and marketing services teams for SMB reseller and agency clients.
