Fiserv has appointed former JPMorgan Chase global payments head Takis Georgakopoulos as senior advisor, EVP and member of the management committee.
The appointment comes weeks after it was announced that Georgakopoulos would be leaving JPMorgan after 17 years at the Wall Street giant.
At payments company Fiserv, he will work closely with the leadership team to “drive positive customer outcomes and deliver best-in-class technology across the company,” a statement said.
Frank Bisignano, CEO of Fiserv, says: “Takis’ extensive payments and leadership experience, as well as his operational expertise, will be an excellent addition to our strong team as we continue to focus on creating value for our customers while integrating our products and services and employees to invest.” .”
Under Georgakopoulos, JPMorgan’s payments business boomed, processing $10 trillion a day and generating $2.4 billion in revenue in the first quarter – more than investment banking.
