CommerceGate Welcomes Eells, Sisk to U.S. Team

LOS ANGELES — CommerceGate continues to expand its presence in the U.S. market with the hiring of Brad Eells and Ananda Sisk.

The company said Eells and Sisk are online industry veterans who not only bring years of experience to the table, but also their passion and commitment to further CommerceGate’s efforts in the U.S. market.

Bjorn Skarlen, CEO of CommerceGate, is happy to be welcoming the newest members of the team.

“We are very excited to have Brad and Ananda onboard with us,” Skarlen said.

“With their vast knowledge and years of experience, we know that they will be real assets to CommerceGate as we continue to expand in the U.S. marketplace and refine our competitive product offerings.”

Eells will be taking on the role of vice president. His duties will include overseeing the Los Angeles office and providing operations and product leadership to all CommerceGate platforms.

“I have enjoyed a diverse career, focused primarily on operations management, product development and online marketing,” Eells said. “I have had the pleasure of working for really interesting companies such as Citysearch.com, Match.com, and for the past five years, Hustler.com. I am looking forward to bringing my knowledge and experience to the CommerceGate team and help further their market expansion in North America.”

After starting her career in software and web development, Sisk joined the adult industry with Adult.com/RealityCash.com, which later turned into a Playboy company.

She then took her expertise to Mansion Productions as a sales representative for its affiliate program. At CommerceGate, she will have the title of sales director and will be heading up sales strategies for the company.

“I look forward to working with CommerceGate, it has always proven to be a company that puts clients first while constantly striving to bring a better product to the market and raise the bar of what is expected from a payment processor in terms of service, throughput, features and ease of use.”

With offices in Barcelona, Miami and Los Angeles, CommerceGate is an IPSP processor with gateway solutions that provide merchants with service, high throughput, a multitude of features and access to 24/7 support.

“Brad and Ananda’s addition to the U.S. CommerceGate team will find their diverse backgrounds and expertise easily complimenting CommerceGate’s growth in the IPSP marketplace and their initiatives to lead the way in payment processing solutions for merchants both in the U.S. and internationally,” the company said.
