As someone who rarely carries more than two dollars in my wallet, I owe a huge thank you to Amos Taman. He's the genius behind the technology that allows you to pay for your cab with a credit card.
Amos Taman moved to the United States from Israel in the 1980s looking for a brand new start in the land of opportunity. An electrical engineer trained at Tel Aviv University, Amos began servicing taxi cabs in New York City. 20 years later he's the CEO of Veriphone Transportation Systems, the industry leader in wireless technology that enables taxis to accept credit cards.
Next time you pay for your $50 cab ride from JFK, think of Amos Taman and remember that the American Dream is not dead...yet.
