YNOT – Internet payment services provider CommerceGate has added industry veterans Brad Eells and Ananda Sisk to its U.S. team based in Los Angeles. The company is headquartered in Barcelona with additional offices in Miami.
CommerceGate provides processing gateway solutions to the online adult industry, and Sisk’s and Eells’ backgrounds and experience will strengthen the company’s client relationships in that area, Chief Executive Officer Bjorn Skarlen said.
In his new role as vice president, Eells will oversee the Los Angeles office and provide operations and product leadership for all CommerceGate platforms.
“I have enjoyed a diverse career focused primarily on operations management, product development and online marketing,” Eells said. “I have had the pleasure of working for really interesting companies such as Citysearch.com, Match.com, and for the past 5 years, Hustler.com. I am looking forward to bringing my knowledge and experience to the CommerceGate team and help[ing to] further their market expansion in North America.”
After starting her career in software and web development, Sisk joined the adult industry as an employee of Adult.com’s affiliate program, RealityCash. Playboy acquired Adult.com in September 2005, and Sisk remained with the company until becoming a sales representative for software developer Mansion Productions. At CommerceGate, she will serve as sales director.
“I look forward to working with CommerceGate,” Sisk said. “It has always proven to be a company that puts clients first while constantly striving to bring a better product to the market and raise the bar of what is expected from a payment processor in terms of service, throughput, features and ease of use.”
According to Skarlen, “We are very excited to have Brad and Ananda onboard with us. With their vast knowledge and years of experience, we know they will be real assets to CommerceGate as we continue to expand in the U.S. marketplace and refine our competitive product offerings.”
