Paysafe hires its first chief revenue officer

Paysafe has appointed Rob Gatto as its first chief revenue officer, reporting to relatively new CEO Bruce Lowthers, who joined the company in May.

Gatto takes up the role with immediate effect and will be responsible for Paysafe’s international sales arm, covering a range of sectors including igaming, travel and entertainment, cryptocurrency and financial industries.

Gatto brings a vast amount of experience in delivering transformational growth and go-to-market functions for both private and public businesses of all sizes.

His most recent role was as co-founder and president of Ureeka Inc., which is a community to help small businesses go to market and plan for exponential growth.

Gatto has also held senior roles at tech companies such as COO of TubeMogul, SVP of global sales at Neustar and CEO at PointRoll.

Lowthers said: “Rob is an outstanding leader with a proven track record of implementing growth strategies that deliver positive top-line and bottom-line results.

“His commercial acumen, tech savviness and deep understanding of both market and customer needs will make him an invaluable member of the team as we transform the business and execute on our growth plan.”

Gatto added: “I believe Paysafe is uniquely positioned to offer an unrivalled end-to-end payment offering to both consumers and merchants in the specialised industries it focuses on. I’m thrilled to be joining Bruce and the talented Paysafe team at such an exciting time and look forward to playing my part in driving some solid growth across the business.”
