Ayala will lead Global Electronic Technology’s U.S. marketing initiatives, represent Global Electronic Technology and affiliate OrbitalPay, to ISOs/MLSs, bank acquirers, VARs and financial service-focused organizations.

“Mr. Ayala is among the most respected leaders in the electronic payments industry, with diverse experience within bank owned organizations and high level roles in the bankcard industry," Bryson said. "He knows how to build and grow customer-focused sales teams. His broad based operations and marketing experience will help guide us as we invest in GET’s strategy to reach new customers and introduce new scalable, intuitive, data rich, cloud-based commerce solutions to the marketplace.”
