“Pete has a long history of empowering software organizations to deliver exceptional results for customers, employees and shareholders,” said Will Chen, Managing Director at Goldman Sachs and member of the Aptos Board of Directors. “With Pete’s core competencies spanning everything from building high-performance teams to successfully integrating acquisitions to uniting global businesses, we feel confident that he is the right fit to lead Aptos into its high-growth, accelerated-innovation phase.”

With research by analyst firm IHL forecasting that the worldwide Unified Commerce market will grow 78%, to $83 billion, in 2024, Aptos is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this growth.

“With notable investments in talent — including securing an industry veteran like Pete Sinisgalli, accelerated product innovation, expanded geographic coverage and strategic acquisitions — Aptos is making all the right moves to support its customers on their Unified Commerce journeys and pandemic-related recoveries,” Sheldon concluded.
