In this role, he is responsible for leading the strategic direction and execution of the commercial functions of marketing, ecommerce, leisure products and loyalty.
"Scott's exceptional ability to harness data and technology to better understand and serve our customer - from where and how they want to fly, to making it ever easier for them to find what they want – has brought tremendous benefits to the company," said John Redmond, Allegiant president. "We are excited to have his expertise and deep roots in data and predictive analytics on our executive leadership team, super charging our brand at every level."

He was part of the senior leadership team that carried out Vantiv's successful IPO in 2012 (Vantiv later became Worldpay), and earned the company multiple rankings on Forbes' annual list of America's Top 25 Fastest Growing Tech Companies. At Worldpay, DeAngelo was also the lead inventor on multiple patent-pending solutions for bridging online customer behaviors with their in-store spending in order to measure digital impact at scale.
Before joining Worldpay in 2011, DeAngelo was global consulting group leader for Acxiom Corporation, serving a broad slate of clients including many of the world's leading internet retail, digital commerce, travel and hospitality companies with marketing data and technology strategies designed to build personalized customer engagement in a connected world.
