Secil Tabli Watson and Paul Finch will become the Las Vegas-based provider’s newest board members from 1 February, while Atul Bali will assume the position of LID, replacing Ronald Congemi who will retire in May.
Watson and Finch are experienced business and financial executives who will serve on the board’s audit committee, nominating and governance committee and compensation committee.
Their appointment, along with the addition of current Everi COO Randy Taylor, will bring the board’s membership to 10. Taylor will replace Michael Rumbolz as CEO on 1 April, with the latter transitioning to an executive chairman role.
“We are delighted to welcome Secil and Paul to Everi. Their achievements and distinguished experience make them ideal additions to the Board of Directors,” remarked Rumbolz.
“Secil’s global and digital experience as former Head of Digital Solutions at Wells Fargo and Paul’s successful leadership of Early Warning Services and its collaborative launching of the banking industry’s first real-time payments network Zelle bring to the board a wealth of business and financial industry knowledge.”
Congemi, meanwhile, has said he will not stand for re-election at the company’s next annual general meeting of stockholders, scheduled for 18 May. Instead, he will step down, and Bali — who has been a board member for two years — will take his place as LID.
Rumbolz added: “We want to thank Ron for his distinguished service to our board. Everi will miss his insight and contributions.”
