A senior industry leader, Singh brings over 30 years of experience in diverse sectors, including retail, food services (hotels, restaurants and caterers), consumer goods, and real estate. Singh was the CEO of Pizza Hut and Costa Coffee India, with Devyani International, where he revitalised sales and profitability across 400+ dine-in and delivery stores with 4,500+ team members.

At POSist, in this newly created role, Singh will be responsible for driving a collaborative approach to digitising large restaurant chains and Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) businesses globally.

The new technology-first world of the restaurants is looking exactly for what they have. I found the talented leadership, passionate teams, customer-first philosophy, and a strong SaaS product here, which I believe are the right ingredients for building a successful business. I look forward to working with the team and scaling POSist to greater heights,” said Singh.
