Both Quincy and Fiore provide guidance on COVID-19-related challenges faced by employers, including remote workforce policies, procedures and training, employee safety, reductions in force, furloughs and layoffs, family and medical leave due to coronavirus or childcare interruptions, ADA accommodations, and the WARN Act. They guide employers who face legal claims related to the pandemic to minimize their potential litigation risks, and advise on return to work issues of pay, hours scheduling, masks, and health screening.

“Greenberg Traurig has an unequalled geographic reach and well-earned reputation in the field of labor and employment law,” Quincy and Fiore said in a joint statement. “The firm offers a collaborative culture across multiple practice areas that will benefit our clients greatly, at a time when labor and employment issues are center stage in Arizona and across the United States.”

Spreedly, the software company that accelerates global commerce by offering a secure and flexible platform that welcomes all payments participants, today announced it has added a chief information security officer (CISO) to the team.

Christopher Hudel joins the Spreedly senior leadership team to grow and evolve cyber protection for Spreedly and its customers. The chief information security officer and his team will further enhance key security strategies and best practices. He will also serve as a go-to subject matter expert on IT threats in the payments space, and other security and compliance issues.

Christopher brings over two decades of information security experience in the domains of application and product security, incident and crisis management, penetration testing (“red teaming”), security roadmap and strategy, security operations, digital transformation, architecture, evangelism and leadership. A self-described “information security pragmatist” in seeking the right approach for the right risk, Christopher has nearly 15 years of experience in the financial services vertical with organizations including First Union / Wachovia Bank, Lending Tree, Bank of America, and First Citizens Bank.

Christopher previously served as an adjunct professor teaching information security graduate and undergraduate courses for the University of North Carolina in Charlotte, NC.

“What really impressed me about Spreedly is the focus and commitment to security, operational excellence and meeting the ever-evolving payments needs of so many different types of organizations in a variety of industries and geographies,” explained Hudel. “That level of maturity is an incredible testament to the entire team.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. (PRWEB)
August 11, 2020

Indeflex, an entrepreneur-centric merchant services firm, is thrilled to announce the addition of another top-notch sale professional, Nick Korthals, to the team as a National Sales Director. Nick will be responsible for coaching merchant services sales partners to help them excel. Nick initially joined Indeflex as an independent sales partner in September 2019 and says, “Working with Indeflex has been excellent. The support and team environment are top-notch, and it just keeps getting better. I’m looking forward to bringing true support and transparency to the sales partners, and I know my field experience will be vital to their success.”

Indeflex is touted as the best merchant services sales organization in the country to work for and is building a top-tier team of trainers to reinforce this reputation. Paul Dobson, Indeflex Managing Partner, says, “There is a global need in our industry for agents to be supported and treated fairly, and training them on not only how and what to sell, but how to support their merchants so they continue to see those residuals for years to come, is so vital to their long-term success in the industry.” Indeflex sales partners have a distinct competitive advantage in that the trainers here have real-world field experience and truly understand the day-to-day obstacles sales partners face. Nick Korthals says, “From first-hand experience, the support that Indeflex provides each sales partner is beyond anything I’ve ever seen. They will build an entire program for a specific agent to meet their needs or to help them make a sale. They understand that different regions require different tools, and they pull out all the stops to give them anything they need to be successful.”

Mr. Korthals started in payments in 2009 at Central Payment, where he signed more than 450 merchant accounts in his first two-years. From there, Nick became the National Sales Director at PDX Enterprise Solutions & VP of Sales at Priority Payments PDX, where he managed a large team of sales agents and a portfolio of hundreds of merchant accounts that processed over $1 billion in transaction volume. Then in 2014, Nick founded Cpay WI, which would eventually evolve into Kore Payment and has seen steep growth in recent years. Kore is currently processing more than $100 million in transaction volume, with an average of over 90 thousand transactions per month. “Kore has a year-over-year growth rate of 200%,” Nick explains.

Indeflex Managing Partner Phil Krivacek says, “Nick recently joined the Indeflex team full-time after being one of our top-producing sales partners, and our nationwide team of sales executives are thrilled at the opportunity to work with and learn from him. Nick is the real deal. He is hands-on, responsive, creative, and passionate. He loves helping agents traverse the same journey he has, so they can reap the rewards of their hard work.”

Nick is looking forward to changing an industry that is traditionally managed by directors with little to no field experience at all. “…with over a decade in the payments industry and real field knowledge, I bring a higher level of support and ideas that any agent can leverage to their advantage.”

About Indeflex

Indeflex is an entrepreneur-centric platform focused on offering flexible options for merchants and a great career opportunity for independent sales partners nationwide. Indeflex is built for entrepreneurs. With unique options for merchants to save on processing fees, such as the Flat Cash program, and a ready-made business model for partners to grow their portfolio using a suite of cutting-edge technologies, Indeflex has everything businesses need to excel.
