Sean Mulvaney, Senior Vice President, Financial Services Group

If you're looking for someone who has packed a huge amount of banking and sales experience into a short time period, then look up Sean. Before he joined ACTON Marketing at the end of 2005, he worked for USBank, one of the nation's largest banks with offices in 24 states. He's obviously a self-starter because he finished in the top one percent of referral sales among the bank's regional tellers. That feat meant a promotion to Personal Banking Officer/Sales and Service Manager. There, Sean finished in the top six percent among his peers, company-wide, for total sales in both 2000 and 2001.

Sean moved on to Information Technology Inc., where he learned banking from the hardware and solution development side of the business. His salesmanship prompted a promotion to the sales side as a Program Manager and brought an invitation to speak at ITI's national convention in 2005.

He holds a Business Administration/Marketing Management degree and an Associate of Applied Science degree. Combined with his banking experience, Sean fits perfectly into ACTON's Financial Sales team.

Frank Metzger, Senior Vice President Loan Acquisition Programs

When it comes to recommending loan programs to financial institutions, Frank certainly has the experience it takes. He's been connected to the credit union industry since 1985 and was the Senior VP at Team Automotive Group in Indianapolis, where he directed marketing and loan promotional campaigns for credit unions across the country.

Earlier, Frank was the president and CEO of a Credit Union Service Organization owned by a large credit union that had local and international offices. He developed one of the first auto buyer services and auto dealer networks in the Midwest, responsible for generating thousands of auto loans each year.

Before joining ACTON Marketing, Frank was a national manager for the nationwide consumer list and credit report provider, Experian. There he developed and implemented marketing strategies, developed new products, and directed loan promotional campaigns.

Paul Denny, Vice President, Financial Services Group

Paul heads up ACTON's North Carolina Marketing office. He's responsible for the overall relationship with a select group of financial services clients and prospective clients. Paul provides a variety of services, including needs assessments, client satisfaction, training and mystery shopping.

A 2005 graduate of the ABA School of Bank Marketing, Paul joined ACTON in 2002, after a career in project and account management in the field of technology, plus a number of professional experiences in "the wide world of sports."

Jayme Shelton, Vice President, Financial Services Group

As shown by his past experiences, Jayme is a detail-oriented guy — a very important quality in his Account Executive position at ACTON. While most of ACTON's clients use our Checking Account Customer Acquisition program, Jayme works with clients who need services beyond the basic checking program. Organization and the ability to juggle multiple client projects are essential to Jayme's daily routine.

Before coming to ACTON, Jayme spent over five years supporting banks at Information Technology, Inc. (ITI) in Lincoln. He was as a quality control analyst who assisted in the testing and support of bank teller systems. Prior to that, he was a teller for US Bank.

Jayme's attention to detail began long before he entered the workplace. He was honored as the Freshman Biology Student of the Year during his time at Northeast Community College. He was also given the responsibility of presenting ITI's new accounts platform solution at the company's national conference in 2005.

Outside of the office Jayme is involved in church organizations, including helping families in need with repair projects on their homes.

Ben Sedivy, Vice President, Financial Services Group

The Financial Sales Department scored a coup when they gained the services of Ben from his former position in the Training Department. Now he devotes his considerable talents to clients and prospects in the Western Region.

Ben joined ACTON Marketing in early 2007 as our Assistant Director of Training. Early on, he earned rave reviews from his training session participants and from his training colleagues. When he wasn't flying around the country to hold training sessions for our clients, he helped update training materials and expand the services the Training Department offers.

You can still see Ben in many of ACTON Marketing's training videos on our website and on sites like YouTube.

Originally from Waverly, Nebraska, just east of Lincoln, Ben came to ACTON Marketing from Union Bank and Trust Company where he worked as a teller and personal banker. There he also worked with several 529 Plans, including one of the top plans in the nation, the College Savings Plan of Nebraska.

Ben graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with a Bachelors of Science in Business Administration, majoring in Marketing with a minor in Economics. While at UN-L, Ben was selected to attend the prestigious Walt Disney World College Program in Orlando.

Amber Hegwood, Executive Marketing Director

Every company needs a go-to person who the staff can count on to get all the details covered. Amber has that role at ACTON. She never worries about one day being like the next because her duties and projects vary so much. She performs account manager duties for clients by overseeing their standard projects and their special agency projects. Other times, Amber prepares sales materials for client visits or to mail to prospective clients. She helps all members of the sales team around the office, and she's the special assistant to EVP George Monnier.

Amber graduated from Nebraska's Doane College in May 2009, with a Bachelor Degree in Marketing.
