excellent leadership, that’s the only true differentiator. It’s what I’ve lived by. So, I nurtured and watched this talented group as they grew into excellent leaders. I’ve seen them raise families and become successful in their own right. iiPay grew some 20 times in revenue under their watch, and I was impressed watching them work with Vistra and our new owners. Knowing that we helped them see potential in themselves that they didn’t even know they had—that’s what’s been exciting for me. This leadership team is still with us today at Vistra+iiPay. I attribute my approach to leadership to growing up in a manufacturing blue-collar family and so I feel that everything that has happened is because of something bigger than me. This allows me, as a leader, to put others in front and give them the opportunity.

I recently was asked about my superpower, and I said that my superpower is in building leaders; that’s the thing that matters to me the most. I’m excited to be a part of the new organization. When we think about leadership, one differentiator that comes to mind is our team’s intense focus on great client experiences. This has led us to become a trusted partner for our clients. As a result, Vistra+iiPay has been recognized as global payroll supplier of the year at least three times over the last five years by the GPA and Reward Strategy. We also were finalists for

GPA awards. In addition, we were recognized for six straight years as one of the fastest growing companies in America. In all cases, Vistra+iiPay did not pay for any of this recognition - all earned as a result of a competitive process, data submissions, and client testimonials. The recognition comes as a result of hard work by our leadership teams and staff to build relationships with great clients, because it is through their testimonials and the data that backs up our achievements that we have succeeded in highly competitive processes.

The payroll industry was behind when it came to building APIs when I started, but we’ve closed the gap and we now build APIs that ease integration and automate the whole process.
