The cash handling systems provider taps Chary just days after Lopez steps down.

Cash handling solutions and business intelligence services provider Global Cash Access (GCA) has appointed Ram Chary as its new chief executive officer. The announcement comes almost immediately after predecessor David Lopez resigned from his position as CEO on Monday. While it doesn’t look like exciting casino gambling news, GCA provides important services used by many gaming providers.

Chary slides over from his role at Fidelity National Information Services (FIS), a banking and payment technology specialist. He distinguished himself working for the company from 2007-2013.

Chary brings an impressive track record to GCA

GCA’s board of directors is optimistic about the move for good reason. Chary was highly regarded as FIS’s vice-president of global commercial services and has also worked as a consultant for IBM. He brings years of experience in the international business world.

GCA chairman E. Miles Kilburn had this to say: “Ram has a proven track record in growing retail payments and financial services businesses… The Board of Directors and I have the highest confidence in his leadership skills and capabilities and look forward to a bright future of growth and success for GCA.”

GCA provides cash handling systems used by operators of interactive gaming machines as well as by sites providing services like online blackjack and poker. It is one of the leading companies in the industry.
