Sinclair, a Maryland based media company, appointed Narinder Sahai as Executive Vice President (EVP) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), on July 7.
Sahai joins the media brand with over two decades of leadership experience across publicly traded and private-equity-backed companies, with deep expertise across the full breadth of finance functions, including capital markets, treasury, controllership, investor relations, mergers and acquisitions, and planning and analysis.
Prior to joining Sinclair, Sahai served as CFO at Arcis and as CFO of RumbleOn, before that.

Sahai also has experience working at Amazon’s AWS, where he served as Head of Worldwide Go-to-Market Finance for Compute and AI/Machine Learning services. Before AWS, Sahai served as Senior Vice President, Treasurer and Investor Relations at Target Hospitality Corp and worked at FMC Technologies and TechnipFMC before that.
Chris Ripley, President and CEO of Sinclair talked about Sahai's experience in top leadership positions and said, "Narinder’s proven track record as CFO of both publicly traded and private-equity-backed companies, combined with his operational discipline and strategic financial leadership, makes him exceptionally well-suited to guide Sinclair through its next phase of growth."
Ripley added, “He brings a unique perspective having worked in multiple industries—including cloud and AI-focused companies. Narinder is a proven C-suite leader with a strong history of executing value-creating strategies, optimizing capital structures, and driving margin improvement. We’re looking forward to him building on our culture of success, industry leadership, and best-in-class finance team, especially as we advance commercialization strategies around ATSC 3.0 and continue to deliver long-term value for our stakeholders.”
Sahai holds a Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering, graduating as valedictorian from Thapar University, India, and a Master of Business Administration with High Distinction from the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan. Sahai is also a CFA Charterholder.
Sahai expressed his delight over the appointment and said in a statement, "I am honored to join Sinclair during such an exciting period of transformation and growth."
He also highlighted how his experience would transfer to his work in the new role and added, "Having worked across diverse industries—from automotive and energy to consumer and technology—I have a deep appreciation for companies that are successfully transforming themselves while maintaining strong operational discipline. Sinclair's unique position at the intersection of local media, sports, and emerging technology creates tremendous opportunities."
With this appointment, Lucy Rutishauser will step down as Chief Financial Officer and continue as Executive Vice President to support the transition. She will remain in that capacity until her planned retirement later this year, at which time she will assume the role of Senior Advisor.
