Comdata Joins IQ BackOffice to Host Financial Leadership Luncheon in Phoenix

Comdata Inc., a leading provider of electronic payment solutions, will host a financial leadership event featuring guest speakers, Lisa Beiferman, Swift Transportation’s director of shared services, and Chris Shanahan, MasterCard Worldwide’s vice president of business development.

The luncheon takes place on Thursday, June 19 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the Garden Room at the Wrigley Mansion. This luncheon is part of an event series that brings financial industry leaders together to explore payment optimization strategies. Those interested in attending may register until Wednesday, June 18.

By hosting this leadership luncheon, Bob Sneed, senior vice president of Comdata, described the beneficial value of this event and what attendees can expect during the session.

“By collaborating with the IQ BackOffice for this event, we will be able to provide financial leaders and members of the business community with thought leadership and a better understanding on how to drive cost savings,” Sneed said. “Our goal is to help attendees learn the value of payment optimization so that they are able to utilize these strategies to drive margin improvement and streamline their business processes.”

During the luncheon, both Lisa Beiferman and Chris Shanahan will outline how they leverage electronic payments within their organization. They will also highlight how electronic payments have helped drive their supplier discount opportunities, maximize their overall procurement process and streamline their internal processes.

Comdata began its Financial Leadership Luncheon series last year in Dallas and hosted its most recent luncheon sessions in Cincinnati last month. Comdata is scheduled to host its Financial Leadership Luncheon series in at least three other cities this year, which include Chicago, San Francisco and Minneapolis.

Registration for this event will close on Wednesday, June 18.
