Paysafe Limited (“Paysafe” or the “Company”) (NYSE: PSFE), a
leading payments platform, today announced that Alex Gersh is
moving into an advisory role to the Chief Executive Officer,
effective September 4th and will step down as Chief Financial
Officer. Alex will remain with Paysafe in his new role for an
undefined period but at least through the end of the year. John
Crawford joins Paysafe as Alex’s successor, effective immediately,
and will be based in the company’s North American headquarters
located in Jacksonville, Florida.
“Looking to the future, Paysafe is entering a different chapter
of growth where we will focus on scaling the business and ensuring
that we can capitalize on opportunities that lie ahead,” said
Paysafe CEO, Bruce Lowthers. “John is an outstanding leader with
exceptional financial acumen, strategic vision, and a true business
mindset. I strongly believe that his experience positions him to
strategically help guide our efforts towards achieving sustainable
growth and long-term success as a world-class payments
organization,” added Lowthers.
Crawford spent nine years at FIS, last serving as Executive Vice
President—Strategy, M&A and Venture Capital where he led global
corporate development, overseeing all of FIS’s acquisitions,
divestitures and joint ventures, and global venture investing.
During his time at FIS, John spearheaded over 25 deals, with
acquisitions contributing substantially to the company’s growth.
Prior to joining FIS, John held leadership roles across the U.S.
and London in investment banking at Bank of America Merrill Lynch
and Bear Stearns and in commercial finance at GE Capital.
"I am thrilled to join Paysafe and contribute to its ongoing
transformation. In the payments industry, offering the broadest set
of solutions on a global scale allows a company to more effectively
serve customers and stay competitive. Paysafe has leading solutions
in many of the most attractive markets, and I am eager to
collaborate with the team to uncover new opportunities to
accelerate growth for the company while maintaining financial
discipline and focus on delivering value for our stakeholders,"
said John Crawford.
Gersh will be working closely with Crawford to manage the
transition.
“I want to sincerely thank Alex for the work he has done over
the past two years as CFO, helping stabilize Paysafe and drive our
transformation. He has been a strong finance leader, and I have
enjoyed working with him. While Alex is not leaving us yet, I also
want to thank him for staying on to ensure that we maintain the
course we’ve charted and our transformation momentum,” continued
Lowthers.
“When I joined Paysafe, I knew the company faced challenges in
turning around its financial performance and becoming financially
and operationally sustainable,” said Alex Gersh, CFO. “I am
grateful for the opportunity I’ve had to contribute to our
transformation and would like to thank the Paysafe team for working
tirelessly with me to achieve this progress,” added Gersh.
