Raymond Howard
Chief Revenue Officer at Ziosk
Speaker

Profile

Raymond is an entrepreneur and technology executive who has spent his career building platforms that transform customer engagement. He co-founded Ziosk while completing his MBA at the Cox School of Business at SMU, with a vision to bring digital ordering, payment, and guest engagement directly to the restaurant table. Today, Ziosk’s platform engages nearly 1 billion restaurant guests each year, with adoption exceeding 90%.

Prior to founding Ziosk, Raymond spent 12 years in the wireless technology industry in engineering, sales, and leadership roles—experience that shaped his ability to bridge technology innovation with commercial scale.

In 2018, he launched Ziosk Integrated Payments, building a payments platform within the company that scaled rapidly and led to a successful exit just three years later.

Today, Raymond leads Ziosk’s commercial organization, as the Chief Revenue Officer, overseeing sales, client management, customer success, partnerships and ecosystem development, and product commercialization.
