MIDDLEBURY, Conn., Feb. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- iSend, a global electronic payment service for people who support family members in other countries, is among the "Mid-Market Elite 100" list of companies featured in the current issue of Chief Executive magazine.

Chief Executive developed its first Mid-Market Elite 100 list, which it plans to publish annually, in partnership with Ohio State University's Fisher School of Business and GE Capital. Researchers and judges evaluated companies with annual revenues between $10 million and $1 billion to identify those with superior growth rates, a track record of innovation, an exceptional corporate culture, charismatic leadership and compelling business models.

In announcing the Mid-Market Elite 100 list, Chief Executive Editor-in-Chief J.P. Donlon said, "The Middle Market often gets overlooked, in the shadows of big corporations and small business. While accounting for just 3 percent of U.S. companies, the Middle Market is responsible for 1/3 of all jobs and 36 percent of U.S. payrolls. The Mid-Market Elite represent the best within this critical sector."
