Prior to PBC Stan spent 17 years as an executive at American Express and was Regional Vice President and General Manager of the Western United States operating as the region's senior business leader where he managed American Express' U.S. Commercial Card Division overseeing the Account Development Organization including sales and operational support across multiple industries, to more than 260 U.S. based companies, representing over $300 billion in annual corporate revenue.

During his tenure he was also responsible for American Express' penetration into several key industries including Entertainment, Gaming, Restaurant, Wine, Ski and Luxury Hotels.
Gino Pereira, Chief Executive Officer, said," Stan's expertise, experience and connections in the financial payment space perfectly compliment the outstanding retail expertise that William Fields, former CEO of Wal-Mart Retail Stores Division, brings to NXT-ID. Together we have a formidable team to maximize the opportunities for Wocket Smart Wallet and other disruptive technologies that we will be bringing to market in the near future."
Mr. Stanley E. Washington said, "I'm excited to be joining the Board of NXT-ID at a time when there is so much disruption and opportunity in the payment space.
