Collins Takem

With over 13 years of experience in sales and business development, I have a proven track record of driving revenue growth and market expansion in the payments, fintech, and alternative lending sectors. As the Owner and Director of Merchant Services at Polestar Payments, I successfully developed tailored payment solutions that resulted in a remarkable 37% increase in sales for a client. My expertise in navigating complex regulatory landscapes and mitigating risks has allowed me to expand business operations from local to national and global reach.

Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to foster key partnerships and lead cross-functional teams to achieve ambitious business objectives. My experience as a Senior Account Investigations Analyst at CoinLedger and a Senior Support Engineer at Blockchain.com has honed my skills in customer satisfaction and operational efficiency. I am passionate about leveraging AI and machine learning to optimize sales processes and deliver innovative solutions, as evidenced by my project developing an AI-powered integration tool that streamlined merchant services and business loan brokerage processes.
