TransCard Brings Aboard Top-Tier, Industry-Experienced Sales Executive

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--TransCard (www.transcard.com)—a leading provider of prepaid debit card solutions branded with MasterCard®, Discover® Network and STAR associations—has hired a new Senior Vice President of Retail and Government Sales, Candy Whitley, who has 26 years of experience in the prepaid industry.

“Candy is the epitome of a sales executive—she closes, her clients love her and she exudes professionalism and integrity. We feel very confident that our sales results will only benefit from her arrival.”

Before coming to TransCard, Candy was Senior Director of Partner Acquisition in the gift card division at InComm. There, she designed a gift card program that after five years produced sales of more than $700 million annually. She had a similarly successful experience at Lynk Systems where she developed and launched a debit card program—the result was that Lynk acquired the U.S. Treasury debit card business.

“TransCard is on the cutting-edge of a growing prepaid market,” says Candy. “I am excited to have the opportunity to be a part of this extraordinary company that is unlike any I’ve seen in my many years in the business. The executive team has the pulse of what consumers and corporations are looking for in prepaid, and all employees—from Implementation to IT—work hard to ensure the executives’ plans are carried out quickly and accurately. There is a true sense of urgency and passion in the company that’s refreshing.”

TransCard is similarly excited to have Candy as part of the team.

“With many significant relationships already established with key players in the prepaid industry, many years of experience and a reputation as a real go-getter, you couldn’t ask for a better addition to a sales team than Candy,” says Jerry Uffner, President of TransCard. “Candy is the epitome of a sales executive—she closes, her clients love her and she exudes professionalism and integrity. We feel very confident that our sales results will only benefit from her arrival.”
