Flight Club's US expansion
In her new role at State of Play Hospitality, she will oversee brand positioning, creative marketing, digital performance, and the customer journey.
Zinger, a finance leader with more than 15 years' executive experience, joined State of Play Hospitality in early 2025 as its chief financial officer.
He leads the company’s financial strategy, planning and analysis, treasury, accounting, and risk management functions.
State of Play Hospitality is a leading operator of tech-enabled social entertainment concepts, including Flight Club, AceBounce and Hijingo.
It is the exclusive operating partner for Flight Club in North America. In partnership with Red Engine, Flight Club's brand owner, State of Play launched the first US Flight Club in Chicago in 2018.
Since then, State of Play has taken the concept to Boston, Houston, Las Vegas, Atlanta, Denver, DC, St. Louis, and Philadelphia, with multiple new locations planned.
