Teresa Gouldd

CEO/President

After 20 years in the payment processing industry, AGMS has encountered an unprecedented evolution in technology, as well as a dramatic shift in our society. While these changes certainly made it very difficult for many businesses to remain competitive, my belief in and respect for all business owners remains paramount. AGMS has been a blessing as well as an incredible journey. I was incredibly fortunate to begin this company in 2003 with my newborn daughter in one hand and a phone in the other. The logistics of this industry were very challenging as there was much for me to learn. This remains true as I continue to learn every day. Throughout the journey, I realized every challenge I have overcome has its reward. The greatest of these is helping business owners with the utmost integrity while building long-term relationships.
