REPAY Announces Departure of Co-Founder and President Shaler Alias
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)—February 12, 2026-- Repay Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: RPAY) (“REPAY” or the “Company”), a leading provider of integrated payment processing solutions, today announced that Shaler Alias will depart REPAY effective February 27, 2026 as part of a mutual and amicable transition. Mr. Alias will also step down from REPAY’s Board of Directors at that time.
Mr. Alias co-founded REPAY in 2006 alongside Chief Executive Officer John Morris and has served as President since 2008. During his tenure, Mr. Alias played a central role in shaping REPAY’s strategy, culture and growth.
REPAY does not plan to fill the President role at this time. Mr. Morris and the existing executive leadership team will continue to oversee the Company’s day-to-day operations and strategic initiatives.
“Shaler has been a foundational partner in building REPAY from its first day into the company it is today,” said John Morris, Chief Executive Officer of REPAY. “His leadership, energy and commitment to our mission have left an enduring mark on the organization. On behalf of the entire company and the Board, I want to thank Shaler for his contributions and his friendship, and I wish him the very best in his next chapter.”
“Co-founding and helping lead REPAY over the past two decades has been the absolute greatest privilege of my professional life,” said Shaler Alias. “I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built together and deeply grateful to John Morris, our executive leadership team and the many talented people who make REPAY what it is today. I’m also especially thankful for the early support of my father, Fred Alias, who helped make our founding and early success possible. I believe that REPAY is well-positioned for long-term success, and I expect to remain invested as a stockholder in the Company. As I step away from my formal roles, I look forward to spending more time with my family and devoting greater focus to personal investments and philanthropic pursuits.”
