NEW YORK, Feb. 08, 2023 – e.pop, a retail fintech with a mission to transform the payment ecosystem for merchants and consumers and eliminate paper receipt waste, today announces the appointment of Amber Skinner-Jozefson to the position of Chief Executive.

I’m honored and excited to deliver on this ambitious mandate and to take e.pop to the next level,” says Skinner-Jozefson.
Shah says “Having worked with Amber before, I am delighted to have her move e.pop forward. She has made a significant impact as advisor and leader to date and it’s clear her ability as an operator, CEO and background as a marketing executive is exactly the leadership we need as we enter the next chapter as a two-sided marketplace. With a strong team, recently launched products, growing customer base and community, we can collectively focus our efforts on extending our reach. Our team is now well positioned, giving me even greater confidence in our ability to execute on our vision. I am excited for our future as we transform retail and make a positive impact.”

The board is looking forward to a strong partnership with Amber in her new role.”
