James Kohler, Chief Executive Officer
James Kohler is the Chief Executive Officer of OmPay, LLC, a company with
business solution expertise currently focusing on cashless payment in the
on-street parking arena. The OmPay team is currently working with the
Philadelphia Parking Authority to implement a smart card system. Lead by Kohler,
the team was able to identify the market potential in Philadelphia and then
research, develop, and deploy a custom program. That program, which launched in
October 2003, currently boasts the most reliable on-street parking transaction
process in the nation and uses a fully automated cashless payment system.
OmPay is Kohler’s second start-up venture. He knows the entrepreneurial
environment well, and has worked on equity infusion, business model development,
and financial analysis during his experiences in those ventures. He has also
conducted financial operations for both start-up organizations and collaborated
on marketing strategy for the rollout of services. In addition, Kohler is well
versed in conducting distribution channel analysis for potential service
offerings.
Before launching his own ventures, Kohler spent time with a leading marketing
firm based in Center City, Philadelphia. During his time at that firm, he served
as a Marketing Field Manager, overseeing staff and the implementation and
execution of client-directed marketing initiatives. He worked with Fortune 500
companies including AT&T and TOSCO as well as major retail chains such as
Acme.
Kohler Graduated from Drexel University with a degree in Business
Administration and a concentration in Finance. His education and experience has
given him a passionate approach to business model and channel development, brand
image awareness, product placement, and financial analysis. Kohler currently
resides in Philadelphia.
