Executive Impact – By Robert Green: Paymetric, the global leader in integrated payment and data security for ERP, has experienced a renaissance in recent years. Since Asif Ramji joined the company, as Chief Revenue Officer in 2009 and CEO in 2011, the company has experienced 15 quarters of record sales and double digit revenue growth. After leading the company to profitability, Asif is now moving it to success in a world wanting easier and more secure payments.
Asif Ramji was born in Kenya in 1972 and moved to Vancouver, Canada with his parents at the age of 3. His parents had moved to North America to work – his father in high tech printing and his mother in finance. “It was the typical story of pursuing a dream and a better way of life,” says Asif, “of leaving everything behind and starting fresh.” With raw ambition, Asif was an entrepreneur early on. At 18, he started his first company importing products from overseas and progressively became more interested in technology.
