2025 /PRNewswire/ -- SurgePays, Inc. (Nasdaq:
SURG) ("SurgePays" or the "Company"), a leading technology and
wireless telecommunications company, today announced the promotion
of Allison Seyler to vice
president of sales. A seasoned technology executive with over
15 years of success in fintech and telecommunications sales, Seyler
is the first female executive to hold this role at SurgePays—a
testament to the company's commitment to leadership excellence and
innovation.
Seyler joined SurgePays in March
2024 as director of sales, where she made
an immediate and significant impact—rapidly increasing
the company's retail partner network and driving a
400% plus surge in cellular top-up revenues. She was
instrumental in spearheading new market development,
strategic partnerships and the launch of LinkUp Mobile, the
company's prepaid mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) service.
She quickly established herself as a key driver of growth,
expanding SurgePays' footprint and forging strong industry
relationships.
In her expanded role, Seyler will lead the company's sales
strategy, focusing on scaling LinkUp Mobile, accelerating
prepaid market penetration and broadening SurgePays' digital
services portfolio. She brings a deep understanding of client
needs, leveraging data-driven insights, competitive pricing
strategies and innovative product offerings to deliver
value.
"Allison is an exceptional, hands-on sales leader with deep
expertise in our target markets," said Brian Cox, chairman and CEO of SurgePays.
"Her impact has already been transformative as evidenced by the
expansion of our retail footprint and increased revenues, and we
are confident that her strategic approach will play a pivotal role
in driving sustainable growth and long-term shareholder value. I
have huge expectations from our sales team and believe Allison will
do amazing things for us."
Seyler will lead a team of sales professionals, fostering a
results-driven, high-performance culture that empowers her
team with the tools to increase the SurgePays distribution
footprint nationwide.
"My experience managing a multimillion-dollar book of business
and executing strategic initiatives has prepared me to navigate
complex sales environments and drive results," said Seyler.
"The prepaid industry has taught me the power of
relationship-building, strategic planning and data-driven
decision-making. I'm excited to apply those skills at SurgePays
to fuel growth and create value for our partners and stakeholders.
I am energized and excited to have the opportunity to work with
such a great team and firmly believe we will accomplish the goals
Brian has laid out for us."
With a strong background spanning business development,
sales, account management and product management in the global
fintech and prepaid industries, Seyler brings a wealth of knowledge
to her new role.
She holds a Bachelor of Arts from the University of California, Irvine. She resides
in Mission Viejo, Calif., with her
husband, Mike, and their three children.
