Industry Innovator: Amos Tamam
You may not have heard of Amos Tamam, but if you’ve ever ridden in a New York taxicab and paid with a credit card rather than cash, you have him to thank for that blessing.
Thirty years ago, Amos Tamam came to the United States with a background in electrical engineering. His career took a change, however, when he hired on with a taxi company servicing a fleet of cabs in New York City. Today, he is CEO of Verifone Transportation Systems, Inc., a division of Verifone Corporation, a leading provider of technology that allows taxi drivers to accept payments via credit cards.
Not only does this technology provide convenience for fares, however, it also provides added safety for cab drivers who can carry less cash making them less likely to be robbed. Small and home based business owners can learn from Amos Tamam whose innovative idea in an industry few would consider cutting-edge, has led him to success few may know.
