BluePenguin has promoted Jake Sterling to Chief Operating Officer (COO). In this role, Sterling will continue to head product development, operations and strategy for the organization, while simultaneously managing internal functions and teams.

“Jake is a payments savant and innovator in the Payments and technology space,” said Steve Boyer, BluePenguin Founder & CEO. “Our category is exploding, and we’re innovating and growing right along with it. Jake’s background and expertise will help us operationalize innovation at scale.”
