“Raj is a highly respected financial services and payments leader whose career has been defined by driving growth, innovation and strategic transformation across banking, payments and data analytics,” Gordon Nixon, chairman of the board of directors of Fiserv, said in the release. “As we continue to accelerate innovation at the intersection of banking, and commerce, Raj’s insights and perspective will be a tremendous asset to Fiserv and our Board.”
During an April 2026 conversation with PYMNTS CEO Karen Webster , Seshadri said that chief financial officers who once treated payments as a back-office function are now taking a hard look at their payments infrastructure and the way it directly impacts liquidity and investment capacity.
