FIS® (NYSE: FIS), a global leader in financial technology, announced today that its CEO and President Stephanie Ferris has been named an honoree in American Banker’s Most Influential Women in Fintech 2024. Ferris is the only CEO of a publicly traded company to make the list, which celebrates women who are leading and shaping the fintech industry through innovation, regulation, partnership, and customer experience.
“I am honored and humbled to be recognized by American Banker as one of the most influential women in fintech,” said Stephanie Ferris. “This recognition is not only a testament to my personal journey, but also to the amazing team at FIS that has supported me and our company’s transformation towards client-centricity, innovation, and simplification across the money lifecycle. I am proud to be part of an industry that is constantly evolving and innovating to meet society’s needs and congratulate all of the other honorees.”
Stephanie Ferris assumed the role of CEO and President of FIS in December 2022, becoming the first woman to lead the company in its 50+ year history. Since then, she has launched an ambitious corporate transformation initiative, delivered consistent financial performance, and executed multiple M&A transactions to expand and refine FIS’ solutions portfolio focused on money at rest, money in motion, and money at work. Most recently, Stephanie’s innovation vision to unlock FIS financial technology to the world was the driving force behind the launch of the Atelio™ by FIS fintech platform, which provides the building blocks for financial institutions, businesses, and software developers to embed financial services into their offerings.
The American Banker’s Most Influential Women in Fintech 2024 list is based on a rigorous selection process that evaluates candidates on their leadership, teamwork, and personal initiative. The selection committee also considers the candidates’ performance on a specific initiative at their organization within the past 12 months, their outsized influence in the industry, and their outstanding achievements in the fintech sector. The full list of honorees and a 2024 winner will be featured in the June issue of American Banker magazine and celebrated at the annual Digital Banking Conference, held June 24-25 at The Boca Raton Hotel in Boca Raton, Florida.
