Over the last year, Delta launched several new products and solutions to better support the everchanging needs of their members, including Delta Payed, Merchant Health Report, Web Builder and more. Stacey has been instrumental in bringing these to market, and will continue to guide the company toward innovation that ensures the cooperative brings its members the most value and benefits, no matter the size of the business.
“Delta was built to help small businesses level the payments industry playing field by giving them access to group buying power through a cooperative model,” says Irwin Grossman, Chairman Delta Payment Solutions and President of Delta Payment Cooperative. “When we hired Stacey as our Director of Operations less than two years ago, we knew her industry background was going to help us grow the corporation. In that time, we have not only grown, but Stacey’s experience and industry knowledge has been instrumental in expanding our services and deepening the cooperative value for our members,” he added. “The Board and I were unanimous in our decision to make the C-Suite change now in an effort to not lose the momentum she has created.”
