Flow Networks Co-Founder Chris Boncimino said, “Flow is excited to enhance our team with the wealth of knowledge Tom brings. As our organization continues to grow and expand our platform to new customers, I’m confident Tom will play a big role in enhancing Flow Networks’ vision to revolutionize opportunities for card issuers and merchants as they connect in novel ways with their customers through our platform.”
