Amos Tamam began life in America as an electrical engineer fixing taxi cabs. Soon, however, he was working on taxi meters and helping fleet management improve internal processes and fuel efficiency. Always one to take advantage of the opportunities afforded to him, in 1992 he worked with a development team and created the first taxi meter that was able to accept credit card payments.

Today Amos Tamam is living the American dream as the CEO of Verifone Transportation Systems, Inc. Because of his dedication to improving the lives of taxi drivers, taxi companies were able to increase their profit margin simply by affording customers the convenience of paying with a credit card.
