| By Robert Fletcher
US-facing digital payments provider and mobile app developer Sightline Payments named co-founder Omer Sattar as co-chief executive alongside existing CEO Joe Pappano.
Sattar will oversee internal operations including product and compliance, with Pappano to continue to lead Sightline’s strategy, sales, client success and marketing organisations.
Sattar co-founded Sightline in 2011 and served as its executive vice president ever since, playing a key role in securing partnerships with clients such as Resorts World Las Vegas and Boyd Gaming.
Prior to founding Sightline, Sattar was senior vice president of cash access services at Global Cash Access, which is now Everi Holdings.
“The past year has been transformative for Sightline, and we have no intention of slowing down our progress to revolutionise payments in the gaming and hospitality industries,” Sattar said.
