Everi appoints two new members to its board

Ronald Congemi will also be retiring this year.
Everi Holdings has announced that Secil Tabli Watson and Paul Finch have been appointed to its Board of Directors. They have also been selected to serve as members of the board’s audit committee, nominating and governance committee, and compensation committee.
These changes take effect on February 1 and will expand the size of the board to 10 members.
Michael Rumbolz, Chairman and CEO of Everi, said, “We are delighted to welcome Secil and Paul to Everi. Their achievements and distinguished experience make them ideal additions to the board of directors.”
Watson has served as Executive Vice President and Head of Digital Solutions at Wells Fargo until March 2021, where she worked in fraud prevention. She was responsible for digital transformation and oversaw innovations in payments, cyber fraud and customer experience.
Finch was the CEO of Early Warning Services from 2003 to 2019. In 2017, he helped to launch Zelle, the banking industry’s first real-time payments network.
“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,” Rumbolz said.
“We look forward to benefiting from their insights and counsel as we focus on executing our growth strategies that will propel Everi on its path of building value for our stakeholders.”
Ronald Congemi, Lead Independent Director of the board, has also announced he will retire from the board and will not stand for reelection at the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which is scheduled for May 18, 2022.
Atul Bali, a member of the board for the last two years, has been selected to become Lead Independent Director in Congemi’s place.
“We want to thank Ron for his distinguished service to our board. Everi will miss his insight and contributions,” said Rumbolz.
