Jacksonville-based FIS announced the promotion of Stephanie Ferris to president Tuesday.
Ferris most recently served as [NYSE:FIS] chief administrative officer, having joined the company through its 2019 acquisition of Worldpay, where she served as chief financial officer.
After joining FIS, she assumed the role of chief operating officer where she led the integration of Worldpay into FIS, surpassing both revenue and cost synergy commitments. Ferris’ most recent role as CAO saw her lead a global team responsible for the company’s enterprise strategy, finance, mergers and acquisitions, legal, marketing and communications, risk, information security, and compliance functions.
“Stephanie is a tremendously talented leader, and we’re fortunate to leverage her extensive industry and financial insights to help accelerate our growth and shape the future of FIS,” FIS Chairman and CEO Gary Norcross said in a statement. “Her bold, experienced leadership will ensure that FIS continues to set the pace for how the world pays, banks and invests.”
Ferris replaces Bruce Lowthers, who was promoted to president in March when Norcross transitioned into his new role as chairman and CEO.
