Three years after joining financial technology company Global Cash Access, Randy Taylor saw his role expand in 2014 when the payment processing provider acquired slot machine developer Multimedia Games in a $1.2 billion deal.
Taylor, who had been Global Cash’s controller, moved into the chief financial officer’s position as the merged companies rebranded into Everi Holdings.
It wasn’t the first transition for Taylor, nor his last. In April, Taylor took over as CEO of Everi following the retirement of Mike Rumbolz, who became the Las Vegas-based company’s executive chairman.
In many ways, Rumbolz prepared Taylor for overseeing a company that is somewhat of an industry hybrid – one of the leading providers of cashless gaming technology, but also a slot machine manufacturer that is expanding its footprint inside casinos nationwide.
