Former Head of Business Development at KeyMe, CoinStar and Redbox to Expand Rapidly-Growing Kiosk Network at Leading Retailers Nationwide
Las Vegas, Nevada: Coin Cloud, the largest operator of digital currency machines in the US, has announced the addition of Michael Tomlinson as Chief Revenue Officer.
Tomlinson joins Coin Cloud from KeyMe and arrives at a pivotal time in the company’s hyper-growth, having recently surpassed 1100 units worldwide. He will oversee all retail relationships and the distribution of Coin Cloud kiosks across the country. Prior to KeyMe, Tomlinson held senior positions at CoinStar, Redbox and ZoomSystems, and was responsible for growing those networks to over 60K machines.
Tomlinson’s approach to partnering with leading brick & mortar establishments emphasizes the value that self-service retail brings to consumers and retailers alike, both in terms of revenue per square foot and the significant incremental foot traffic these kiosks attract to every location. At Coin Cloud, he will harness his relationships with retail executives to expand the company’s kiosk network into the largest store chains and most iconic brands in the world.
“Digital currency has hit the mainstream. Michael’s hiring will help make the transacting of digital currency as ubiquitous and seamless as renting a DVD or trading in loose change at your neighborhood supermarket,” says Chris McAlary, CEO of Coin Cloud. “I’m thrilled to have Michael (MT) join the Coin Cloud team, and excited to expand our partnerships with leading retailers nationwide.”
“I’ve been very fortunate during my 25-year career to be a part of the most successful kiosk companies to ever go to market — Coinstar, KeyMe, Redbox, ZoomSystems/Swyft and now Coin Cloud,” says Michael Tomlinson, Chief Revenue Officer. “All of these solutions have two things in common: they had a clear technological advantage over their competition, and they all built amazing teams to bring their vision to life.”
Tomlinson adds, “I am delighted to join the team during this period of high-growth, and look forward to working with my friends and partners at the world’s biggest and most successful retailers. Together we will meet ever-growing consumer demand by bringing this innovative technology to every corner in America.”
“Demand among consumers is exceeding everyone’s expectations, and the pandemic has only accelerated digital wallet adoption,” explains Tomlinson. “We serve the underbanked and make it easy for them to enter the digital economy and use our platform for remittance; we are enabling hundreds of millions of daily MMORPG players to use cash for participating in virtual gaming markets; we are the only DCM operator with a national presence that allows consumers to quickly and easily sell their digital currency onsite for cash.”
