A small business banking and payment services company has snared the services of outgoing Tatts chief executive Robbie Cookie.
Mr Cooke will leave Tatts in March after five years as CEO, following the lotteries and gambling firm's recent $11.3 billion merger with Tabcorp.
He will then take on the role of chief executive of Tyro, which began as a provider of EFTPOS services in 2005 and has recently begun offering lending and deposit products to more than 20,000 small and medium businesses.
Mr Cooke, who was chief executive of hotel booking website Wotif.com prior to joining Tatts, said he will lead Tyro through the next stage of its growth.
"I am very excited to be joining the Tyro team and look forward to continuing Tyro's unique focus on serving the banking needs of Australia's small and medium businesses," he said in a statement on Tuesday.
Mr Cooke will replace Rob Ferguson, who has served as Tyro's acting managing director since the resignation of chief executive Gerd Schenkel in June after just nine months in the role.
