ZENITH Payments Chief Executive Officer Peter Egglestone (pictured) has announced his resignation, as revealed by Travel Daily on Mon (TD breaking news yesterday).
Kevin Butler, a key player in the launch of Zenith’s TravelPay division, will step in as interim CEO until a new leader is found.
Butler’s extensive experience and deep understanding of the business will ensure continuity, Zenith said, with all of the company’s brands, including TravelPay, continuing to operate as usual.
Egglestone will remain involved in the business until next month to support the transition.
“Zenith Payments has a strong foundation, an exceptional team, and exciting opportunities ahead,” Egglestone enthused.
“I want to sincerely thank our partners and clients for their ongoing support – it has been a privilege to work in the payments space in travel and other industries and it’s time to hand the reins over with the business in an incredibly solid position.”
Egglestone previously served as an executive with Journey Beyond and Qantas Holidays.
He joined Zenith in Jun 2023, in a move which saw the company’s prior Chief Executive Andrea Slark move upstairs as its Executive Chair, focusing on strategic initiatives and partnerships (TD 29 Jun 2023). MS
