We’re very pleased to announce that our very own CEO, Brandon Skinner, has been selected as a 2020 Portland Business Journal 40 under 40 winner! Each year The Portland Business Journal honors forty young professionals for outstanding leadership in their careers and compelling community involvement, and Brandon certainly fits the bill. He has led Riverside Payments to three consecutive INC 5000 Fastest Growing Companies rankings and recognition as one of the Top 25 All Time Fastest Growing Companies in all of Oregon and Southwest Washington. He’s currently on the board of Susan G. Komen, Dollar For Portland, and is heavily involved in supporting local charities both personally and through Riverside Payments. 

“I feel very honored to have won this award,” Brandon stated. “It’s a true testament to the hard work of all our employees and partners. Without them I wouldn’t be here and neither would Riverside. I wouldn’t be able to give back as much to my community if I didn’t have the support of my entire team, and I will forever be grateful to them for putting me in a position to aid my community. I’m excited to continue learning and improving alongside them because, as our motto states, Together We Rise.”
