Millennial Payment Company Sezzle Hires Digital River Alum As VP of Business Development

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 27, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Sezzle, the leading US-based financial technology company offering interest-free installment plans for online shoppers, announced today that they have added Todd Frostad as Vice President of Business Development. Frostad was a founding member of the e-commerce giant Digital River and helped grow Digital River to a billion dollar market cap through his sales leadership and business development initiatives. Frostad will oversee the Sezzle's business development and sales operations.

"I joined Sezzle because in the last 20 years of working in ecommerce, I haven't seen a product able to increase sales like the way Sezzle does," explains Frostad. "I'm a data junkie, and the numbers speak for themselves."

Frostad comes to Sezzle as a veteran of the retail and software industries, and a proven track record of successful growth stimulation and strategic executive leadership. He was the early sales leader at Digital River and was responsible for leading the company sales from launch to IPO, personally representing about 55% of total company revenue growth during that pre-IPO time period.

"We're very pleased to add Frostad to Sezzle's leadership team. His experience growing e-commerce and sales teams will be integral to our company's future," explains Charlie Youakim, CEO of Sezzle. "The entire Sezzle team welcomes Frostad, and we eagerly anticipate the established relationships he brings to our family."
