Kevin Jones, President of SignaPay, learned the value of leadership as a young boy on his uncles’ Christmas tree farm. He saw first-hand that growing a stable and profitable business took hard work and time. Kevin’s uncles taught him the major career philosophies that have shaped his professional life. One is that there is no substitute for honesty and hard work. Another, build success purposefully and never lose sight of your integrity.

Kevin’s leadership skills were first recognized by his high school football coach, who gave him the confidence and skill to work his way from the bench to a captain on the varsity team. There, he learned that leadership does not have to always come from the top, butfrom people on a team doing their part and a solid coach who unites them.

Inspired by his mother, who often worked two jobs to support three children, Kevin determined her sacrifice would not be taken for granted; he left high school to go  straight into college – the first in his family to do so. After receiving his degree, Kevin was drawn to the corporate world, and he realizes now that he is exactly where he should be.

Prior to joining SignaPay in 2011, Kevin served as Vice President of Sales and Marketing for First American Payment Systems, an industry leading payment processor. In this role for the company, Kevin led the first multi-channel strategy, realigned the internal organization and refined the brand to better reflect the current strategy and goals. He also expanded key departments to enable the company to provide partners with the proactive training and support needed to grow portfolios. During his tenure, Kevin’s team achieved unprecedented revenue growth, partner retention and consistent recruitment.
