Payment orchestration platform Paytently has announced a new addition to its senior leadership team, naming Isabelle Delise as Chief Payment Officer.
In a move indicative of the strong links between the payments and gaming sectors, Delise joins the company after an 18-year tenure at Pinnacle, an online bookmaker.
Delise’s most recent role at the firm was Director of Payments, where she focused on its payments operations, product innovation and compliance with regulatory requirements.
“I’ve been inspired by Paytently’s talented team, their positivity, dynamism, and drive to deliver world-class products is truly impressive,” Delisle remarked.
I’m excited to join at such a pivotal stage of the company’s growth. With its innovative platform and focus on delivering specialised payment solutions for gambling and other specialised verticals, Paytently is the perfect place to apply my expertise.
“I look forward to contributing to its continued global success and helping push the boundaries of payment innovation.”
The payments sector is a core partner of the gaming vertical, due to payments playing a core role in the betting KYC journey – a customer can’t place a bet if they can’t deposit, after all.
In an increasingly competitive industry, having the payments edge can often be a key factor in winning over customers from rivals. Offering a breadth of payment options – cash, debit and credit cards, eWallets and Open Banking, to name a few – can also be crucial in this.
Paytently, like many others, actively targets the payments space, such as exhibiting at the Payment Expert Summit in Lisbon last year. It is not surprising that the company sees a lot of value in its new hire’s igaming experience.
“Isabelle’s appointment is a pivotal moment for Paytently as we continue to redefine payments for highly regulated sectors like iGaming,” said Samuel Barrett, Paytently CEO.
“Our AI-driven orchestration platform empowers businesses with smarter, more efficient solutions, and Isabelle’s deep industry expertise will be essential in optimising these capabilities. Her experience will not only strengthen our team but also drive innovation, helping our clients achieve unmatched efficiency and success.”
