"He brings a tremendous amount of expertise and a deep understanding of how TBK Bank fits into the overall strategic direction of our enterprise focus on payments, factoring and banking."

She joined TriumphPay in 2019 and has served in various roles, including chief operating officer and chief strategy officer. Graft said, "Melissa has been a key member of the TriumphPay senior leadership team, playing a critical role in its momentum and success," said Graft.
