They say that a chain is only as
strong as its weakest link. In the public marketplace, weak simply doesn’t cut
it. From public companies to stock transfer agents, success hinges upon
management’s ability to utilize their expertise, experience and ability to
define and execute a plan of operations that ultimately benefits shareholders.
In its 50 years of business,
Continental Stock Transfer has established a powerful roster of team leaders,
each with extensive knowledge in their respective fields. Together, these
individuals serve companies with up to 50,000 shareholders with a range of
fundamental offerings, including record keeping, maintaining shareholder
information, issuance and transfer of shares, shareholder communication,
dividend disbursement and tax reporting, stock plan administration, escrow
services, annual meeting and proxy services and much more.
Continental’s operations are
spearheaded by company President and Chairman Steven Nelson, a 30-year industry
veteran and attorney with experience in public and private practice. He is a
member of the New York State and Federal Bars, and has practiced as a federal
prosecutor, and chairs the Legal committee of the Securities Transfer
Association Board, active in promoting important changes within the industry.
Nelson is entrusted with Continental’s day-to-day organizational and
administrative issues, as well as overall management of client initiatives.
In his 30 years with Continental,
Donald Gress has amassed detailed knowledge of all operational and regulatory
issues. He currently serves as vice president, chief operating officer and
secretary, leveraging his extensive industry expertise to direct Continental’s
core co-agency relationships, guiding all Internet-related operations, and
acting as the interface between the company’s department and programming
support staff.
Compliance is of immeasurable value
in the public marketplace, and Continental’s chief financial officer and
Compliance Officer Frank DiPaolo facilitates regulatory compliance on behalf of
the company as well as coordinates risk management and internal audit programs.
DiPaolo joined Continental in 2000 and is tasked with oversight of day-to-day
financial activities of the company as well as its institutional relationships
with banks and brokers. DiPaolo has 30 years of experience in the banking
industry with a resume of employment with some of the world’s largest banks.
Continental’s shareholder services
are headed by the division’s director and Vice President Mark Zimkind, who has
more than 25 years of industry experience at several large bank transfer
agents. Zimkind oversees account administration, corporate actions, stock
transfer and investment plan services. He has facilitated some of the largest
and most complex mergers, working on more than 2,000 different merger
transactions in his career.
The aforementioned players, along
with several other members of the company’s core leadership, continues to build
upon Continental’s decades of industry experience to provide small-cap companies
with the same quality of services expected by their large-cap counter parts.
