Brent Rose is a 30-year payments industry veteran with a strong leadership background in startup and established organizations. Rose joined Beyond in June of 2017, serving as one of the company’s initial Division Directors and was later promoted to the Vice President of Emerging Market Sales. In his new role as CSO, he will oversee a sales force of over 300 sales representatives and four product divisions.
“I’ve known Brent a long time,” says Robert O. Carr, Beyond’s CEO and Founder. “There are very few people in the payments industry who are more credible than him.”
In the evolving financial technology space, Beyond is uniquely poised to continue its impressive growth by focusing on improving its technology and executing Rose’s objectives. Priority number one is continued development of the Beyond One platform.
“Over the past six to eight weeks I have been working closely with our development team—we are just around the corner from truly having our own technology stack,” says Rose. “This stack enables our teams to position a single touchpoint for all of our varied products and services for our clients.”
As the payments industry consolidates through mergers, vertical consolidation, and technological advancements, training is at the forefront of Beyond’s strategy. “Moving back to a one-on-one training model will give new hires early and continued success, but it doesn’t stop there,” states Rose.
Rose plans to develop a training program based on not just early competence, but continued pursuit of mastery. He will lean on his experience as an in-field sales leader, to help guide both technology and training improvements to translate to the “trenches.”
“I’ve experienced it firsthand,” says Rose speaking of his role as a Division Director. “It’s powerful to bring that thought process to sales leadership. We have to understand and continue to evaluate what’s going on in the marketplace.”
