Cooke new Tyro CEO

PAYMENTS processor Tyro has scooped up outgoing Tatts Group CEO Robbie Cooke as its new chief executive after Gerd Schenkel left company in June.

Mr Cooke is expected to join Tyro at the end of March when he concludes his current role with Tatts Group, following the successful merger with Tabcorp in December last year.

“After conducting an exhaustive local and international search, the Board is delighted to announce Robbie’s appointment,” Tyro chairman Kerry Roxburgh said.
