Former Pavilion Payments CEO and Visionary Leader in Technology, Payments, and Gaming Joins CEO Coaching International

MIAMI, September 19, 2024 – CEO Coaching International, the leading executive coaching firm for growth-focused CEOs and entrepreneurs globally, is pleased to announce Christopher Justice as its newest Partner and Coach.

Justice is a visionary executive known for his strategic leadership and innovation in technology, software, and payments. With a proven track record of managing business units from $25 million to $700 million, he has driven growth across diverse industries, including retail, lodging, automotive, e-commerce, and casino gaming.

As the President of Global Payments Gaming (NYSE: GPN), Justice led the company’s expansion into high-growth sports betting and iGaming markets, introducing innovative products such as mobile cashless solutions, online gaming platforms, and automated self-service capabilities.

Justice was instrumental in the $415 million divestiture of Global Payments Gaming to Parthenon Capital, resulting in the creation of Pavilion Payments, where he served as CEO. As the CEO of Pavilion Payments, he executed a comprehensive carve-out of all business functions—including technology, product, finance, HR, operations, call centers, legal, and regulatory—within the first 12 months, significantly enhancing financial performance and operational efficiency.

“I’m pleased to welcome Chris to the CEO Coaching International team,” said Mark Moses, CEO and Founding Partner of CEO Coaching International. “As a former client, he has already experienced the impact of the Make BIG Happen System firsthand. Now, as a coach, he will be able to share that real-world experience with our clients, making him an excellent addition to our world-class team.”

“As a client of CEO Coaching International, I found unparalleled value in the collaboration with my coach, which I couldn’t get from my team or board,” Justice said. “These interactions nurtured innovative ideas and offered new perspectives that I implemented to add significant business value to all stakeholders. This collaboration was instrumental in developing a stronger team, ultimately helping us achieve ‘Great Place to Work’ certification in our first year. I consider myself a player-coach, dedicated to delivering value to my team and eager to share my insights with other business leaders to help them reach their objectives and live the life they aspire to lead.”

Justice is a board member of the American Gaming Association and is actively involved with BWG Strategy and FinTech Atlanta. He enjoys hiking and camping, embracing the beauty of nature, and the thrill of exploration. He and his wife share a love for international travel, exploring new cultures and destinations together. They live in Las Vegas, Nevada.
