Board Change and New Chief Commercial Officer
Earthport (AIM: EPO), the leading payment network for
cross-border transactions, is pleased to announce that Michael R.
Steinharter has joined Earthport in the new position of Chief
Commercial Officer, effective immediately. In addition, Sajeev
Viswanathan has decided to step down from the board as an Executive
Director and will pass on his management responsibilities to Mike
Steinharter.
Mike brings a great range of experience to Earthport, building,
managing and growing successful sales organisations at some of the
largest and most respected technology service companies. Among his
many roles, Mike spent over 20 years selling to the financial
services sector at IBM with significant management responsibility
in New York, London, and Sydney. Mike has also served as president
of Reuters America and built a significant financial services
practice at Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC).
Sajeev Viswanathan decided to step down from the board as an
Executive Director and will pass on his management responsibilities
to Mike Steinharter. Sajeev has been instrumental in establishing
our presence across the various regions in the emerging markets. As
announced this morning, Earthport has received the Reserve Bank of
India's approval to provide cross border payment solutions to banks
in India. It is a potentially significant opportunity for Earthport
and we are pleased that Sajeev has agreed to stay on with Earthport
to help us launch and build on our presence in India for the next
several months.
We thank Sajeev for his significant contribution to Earthport
and wish him the best in his future endeavours. We welcome Mike at
an important point in Earthport's growth.
