payment and M2M telemetry solutions for small-ticket, self-serve
retailing industries today announced that Veronica Rosa, Vice President
of Corporate Communications and Investor Relations has been selected by
the ranking committee of ExecRank as a "Top
Communications Executive" for 2012. The rankings are the result of
two years of research and feedback from evaluation committees and top
Chief Communications Officers that yielded an algorithm for how to rank
communications executives based on their performance in 24 key areas.
Chairman and CEO of USA Technologies, Stephen P. Herbert, commented,
"Veronica's top five ranking, surrounded by well-recognized brands such
as Facebook, Sprint Nextel Corporation and eBay Inc., is a wonderful
achievement to be celebrated by the entire USA Technologies team. We
have a very high commitment level to communication with our shareholders
and other constituencies, so recognition in this regard is very
important to us. Veronica's energy, skill and approach to integrated
communications are integral to our business objectives and culture."
According to Adam Navrozally, Analyst for the rankings division of
ExecRank, "Ms. Rosa has a strong record of success in strategic
communications and investor relations, most recently at USA
Technologies. Her strong leadership has helped further her company's
reputation as a leader in electronic payments. She is highly regarded in
her field, and among other Communication Executives."
Veronica Rosa is responsible for USA Technologies' integrated
communications program including public relations, media and investor
relations efforts. She joined USA Technologies in February 2012. Ms.
Rosa's experience, which extends from Fortune 500 to small cap companies
as well as "Big 4" public accounting, includes over 25 years in investor
relations, corporate communication and finance.
ExecRank indicates that there are over 15,000 Chief Communications
Officers and Communications Executives at publicly traded companies in
the United States. The number one area of focus for ExecRank's Top
Communications Executives in 2012 was their ability to integrate the
multitude of communication platforms and ensure the consistency and
accuracy of the information circulated regarding their company. ExecRank
also weighed heavily the sentiment of the investment community
surrounding these companies, as it believes that investor relations is a
crucial component of corporate communications. In addition, ExecRank saw
a significant uptick in the number of Communications Executives that
serve as members of their company's board and displayed a skill set that
is applicable to multiple industries.
