LOS ANGELES — OrbitalPay is tub-thumping a pair of 2019 XBIZ Exec Awards — Online Industry nominations for Steve Bryson and Karen Campbell.

Bryson, the company’s founder and CEO, was nominated for Businessman of the Year.

He has helmed OrbitalPay and its parent company, Global Electronic Technology, “for over 30 years, processing payments for the largest adult companies in the world, in addition to thousands of mainstream merchants,” a rep said.

Campbell marks eleven years with OrbitalPay next year and was nominated as Brand Ambassador of the Year.

"On behalf of Karen and myself, a big ‘thank you’ to XBIZ and to the people in the industry who nominated us,” Bryson said. “We've been dong this for a long time, but it never gets old being recognized by our peers. See everyone in January at XBIZ 2019!"
