William R. Pape Central to Tracegains Success

William R. Pape is the Founder, Executive Vice President & Corporate Secretary of TraceGains.  From 1982 to 1998 Pape was a VeriFone co-founder, senior manager, and corporate officer until VeriFone was sold to Hewlett Packard.  VeriFone pioneered the electronic acquisition and transfer of credit card information and, at the time of the H-P acquisition, handled over 65% of the world’s daily credit card traffic.   Pape was one of the first five VeriFone employees, and during his VeriFone tenure, Pape had responsibility for company operations including the technical development groups, the product marketing groups, and the information, system and controls groups.  During this same period, Pape had an active public speaking schedule on the virtual corporation, a concept VeriFone pioneered.  Pape authored the quarterly Virtual Manager column for Inc Technology magazine for five years, served on the board of another NASDAQ NMS company, and was a lecturer at the National Defense University at Ft. McNair Virginia.

Prior to VeriFone, Pape was a General Partner in Innovative Software Applications of Menlo Park, California where he co-designed Spellguard, the first commercial spelling checker for personal computers whose spell-check engine was licensed to other word processors world-wide and which received the first Software Product of the Year award in 1981 by InfoWorld magazine.  ISA was ultimately sold to Computer Associates.

During the 1970’s Pape worked for the United Nations in Southeast Asia responsible for development projects in over thirty Asian countries, and was an Assistant Professor of Decision Sciences at the University of Hawaii School of Business.   Pape holds degrees from Stanford University and the University of Hawaii.
