Amos Tamam Blazing His Own Path

When you heard the name Amos Tamam you may be surprised how this electrical engineer from Israel has changed the way we do things. Arriving in the United States in the early 1980's all he was looking for was an opportunity and once he got it he has not slowed down since. Starting out by servicing taxicabs in a fleet garage in New York City some 30 years later Amos Tamam is now the CEO of Verifone Corporation. The Verifone Corporation is a industry leader in providing technology to let taxicabs accept credit cards.

Giving the taxicab the ability to except credit cards has really changed the industry and made it much safer for cab drivers who now do not have to carry as much cash. Amos Tamam innovations can be felt everywhere in the Taxi industry from being able to accept credit cards to the taxi meter. He continues to work on innovations for the industry and do not be surprised if the next taxi you take has some of his innovations.
