Regulus Group President and COO Kathy Hamburger Awarded OutputLinks Women of Distinction Honor
Annual Award Recognizes Contributions to the HVTO Industry
NAPA, Calif., March 3, 2008 - Regulus, the largest independent provider of paper and electronic bill presentment and remittance processing solutions in the United States, today announced that its President and COO, Kathy Hamburger, has been honored as a Woman of Distinction by OutputLinks.
OutputLinks, the primary global research and information resource of the high volume transaction output (HVTO) industry, has honored 49 women over the past seven years for innovation, leadership and contributions to the industry.
"I am deeply honored to receive this award," said Hamburger. "It has been an amazing experience to be at the forefront of so much change, growth and innovation in the HVTO industry. It's a real testament to my fabulous Regulus team that I'm able to accept this award today."
As President and COO, Hamburger directly heads its internal management team responsible for over 1300 employees across the United States. At Regulus, Hamburger also leads a national sales team which services over 300 clients, comprised of leading companies in the financial services, healthcare, telecom and utility industries.
"As the head of the one of the leading HVTO companies, Kathy is an inspiring leader in our industry," said Julie Plata, COO of OutputLinks. "Her focus on innovation and advancing HVTO makes her a worthy addition to the OutputLinks Women of Distinction honorees."
Since assuming the role of President and COO in 2001, Hamburger has led the charge to transform Regulus from a paper print and remittance company into a cutting edge technology and electronic services firm as well. While other companies were concerned about electronic presentment and Web tools cannibalizing their HVTO work, Hamburger recognized the power of these new technologies, which significantly enhance the overall customer experience and streamline business processes. Hamburger kicked off a company-wide initiative to weave these new technologies into Regulus' print production capabilities, resulting in Regulus' new Transactions² suite of bill printing and payment solutions, now in use by cutting-edge companies across the country.
Today, her vision has become reality as Regulus continues to introduce industry-leading electronic presentment tools, Web-based print production and processing controls, on-statement variable marketing tools and advanced archiving capabilities. And rather than cannibalize its print work, Regulus has seen its HVTO volumes continue to grow.
Kathy is an active member of The National Electronic Payments Association (NACHA) and the Association for Financial Professionals (AFP). Aside from her professional duties, Kathy finds time to stay involved in community outreach by volunteering at WINGS, a mentorship program founded to teach leadership and life skills to young women.
