Shift4 Payments CEO Jared Isaacman is expected to remain with the company now that he won’t be running NASA, according to analysts who follow the payment processor.
While the company had named Taylor Lauber as his replacement, that succession plan was only set to kick in if Isaacman shifted to NASA. But President Donald Trump over the weekend nixed Isaacman as a nominee to lead NASA, so there may be no need for Shift4 to change CEOs.
Isaacman will stay at Shift4 in some capacity, predicted Stephens analyst Charles Nabhan. “The big question is whether he’s going to be CEO or if he’s going to be chairman,” Nabhan said.
