SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - August 27, 2010) -  BilltoMobile™, a payments solution at the forefront of the global evolution in the e-commerce mobile payments space, welcomes two top industry executives to its leadership team: Warren Faleiro joins the company as the vice president of engineering and technology and Madhura Belani joins BilltoMobile as the senior director of product and marketing.
