Dana Sills
PTW Atlanta Chapter Chair
Manager of Product & Marketing
CHARGE Anywhere, LLC

Dana is a serial networker and connector of people. This is how she accidentally fell into the payments industry fresh out of college. The serendipity has continued ever since. Dana is pleased to have helped PMT Services, Inc., now Elavon, grow organically to go public during her tenure.

As the 5th hire in the credit division in a company of approximately 55 employees, she helped Lynk (RBS Lynk/RBS WorldPay, WorldPay, FIS) over 16 years expand from a private company through two acquisitions. While there, she earned Lynk’s first Employee of the Year Award for greatest fiscal contribution among approximately 500 employees with the national release of sales management software.

She developed training, product management and business development while at MainStream, now Heartland, handing opportunity after opportunity off to talented team members that she networked into the organization.

Dana currently leads Product and Marketing efforts at Charge Anywhere, an omnichannel gateway solution representing multiple processors in the Americas and providing Remote Key Injection internationally.

She also chairs the PayTech Women Atlanta Chapter and welcomes any opportunity to meet and help our growing team of current and future industry leaders.
