FIS has appointed Alexandra Brooks, Executive Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, as interim Chief Financial Officer, effective November 5, 2026.

“On behalf of the Board of Directors and our entire team, I would like to thank James for his many contributions since he joined FIS in 2023,” said Ferris. “He played an instrumental role during a transformational period for our company, including the Worldpay exit and the Issuer Solutions acquisition, while sharpening our focus on disciplined capital allocation and cash generation. We are grateful for his partnership and wish him the best in his future endeavors.”
Ferris continued, “Alex is a former public company CFO who knows our business, our controls and our finance team well, which makes her uniquely qualified to immediately step into the role of interim CFO. Her appointment provides continuity and stability while we conduct a comprehensive search for our next CFO.
