TimePayment, a fintech company specializing in multi-channel equipment finance, appointed Sandra VanBuren to the position of director of business development for the company’s food and beverage finance unit. In this role, she will lead the development of new partner relationships and execute strategic initiatives focused on client marketing innovations and loyalty programs.

VanBuren joined TimePayment from her role as director of dealer relations and services at SEFA, a national consortium of restaurant equipment manufacturers, dealers and suppliers. In that role, through strategic partnerships developed in technology, finance and operations, she led the deployment of a professional services suite that improved both the operations and value of the SEFA member base. Earlier in her career, she held positions with Arthur Anderson, Central Salt, Interoceanic Corp, JBFCS and Glencore.

“I am honored and excited by the opportunity to be joining TimePayment at such an important time. The restaurant and food services industry is facing unprecedented challenges with COVID. Equipment sellers need the kind of help that an innovative and well-funded market leader like TimePayment can provide,” VanBuren said. “And I am truly looking forward to working with the team of knowledgeable and talented professionals to bring real solutions to the market.”

“Sandra is a great addition to our team of restaurant finance specialists. Her experience with SEFA brings a unique client-side perspective and, when combined with her finance and operations experience and acumen, she’s a perfect fit for this important role,” Cory Damm, VP and general manager of TimePayment’s food and beverage finance unit, said. “Her appointment at this time underlines our strong and continuing commitment to provide financing and technology solutions to the restaurant and food services sector.”
