Holly Ruprecht Joins the Epoch Sales Team

SANTA MONICA — Holly Ruprecht is the newest addition to the Epoch sales team and will act as affiliate manager for the third-party billing company. Formerly of Naked Sword, Ruprecht told XBIZ that she will bring her affiliate expertise and awareness of the gay adult market with her.

"Epoch is already such a well established brand and an industry leader," Ruprecht said. "I've been so ingrained in the gay market, from studios to affiliates. I'm going to bring a different kind of perspective."

Ruprecht said that she has a slew of gay studio contacts, and now that they are realizing how important billing is to their business, she is ready to further help Epoch reach out to the gay market.

“Holly’s experience combined with her extensive contacts in the business make her a perfect fit to the Epoch team,” Epoch Vice President of Sales Harmik Gharapetian said. “Our goal is to provide our clients with top-notch sales, customer and technical support and we feel Holly will help us to achieve that goal.”

Ruprecht also said that, after working with affiliates for eight years, she knows how they think and how they utilize billing systems in their business — a valuable tool she will bring to Epoch's team.

"I'll always love Naked Sword; they will always be my home," Ruprecht said. "But it's time for a different challenge. It's time to learn something new."
