eLayaway.com Announces New Officers


TALLAHASSEE, FL – eLayaway, Inc. (“eLayaway®”) announced today the appointments of Douglas Salie as Chief Executive Officer, Bruce Harmon as Chief Financial Officer and Gina Bennett as Chief Compliance Officer.

“Mr. Salie brings his expertise in Internet technologies and consumer-facing web-based applications which will help eLayaway® improve its offering and build upon its past successes,” stated Sergio Pinon, Founder and Chief Marketing Officer.

Recent growth and the overwhelming popularity of online layaway has begun to draw experienced executives such as Salie, Harmon and Bennett to this emerging start up. Their combined talents provide eLayaway® with a solid foundation and strong organizational experiences needed to support the largest enterprises. eLayaway® is now poised to take its timely concept to the next level.

“Mr. Harmon and Ms. Bennett have strong backgrounds working as officers and directors of publicly-traded companies. Their past experiences will assist eLayaway® in its push for structured growth and profitability,” stated Douglas Salie, CEO.

Backed by the management team that originally launched eLayaway® in 2006, the newly formed executive team has already begun making headlines in their industry. On August 28, 2009, CNBC featured eLayaway® on its show, “The American Consumer.” The brief mention resulted in numerous calls from interested merchants looking to find ways to stimulate sales in this economy. On September 3, 2009, Sergio Pinon, the Company’s co-founder, was interviewed on FOX Business News. Additionally, due to the July 2009 Consumer Alert issued by the Federal Trade Commission (“Layaway: Another Way to Buy”) discussing layaway as a viable solution to credit cards, the Associated Press, The Wall Street Journal and many other media sources have been contacting the Company to interview its management.
