Fiserv and Truist announced leadership transitions Monday (June 15) as Mike Lyons moves from being CEO of Fiserv to being president and CEO of Truist.
Fiserv said in a Monday press release that Lyons stepped down as CEO and member of the board of directors to become CEO of Truist. The company appointed Takis Georgakopoulos, a member of its executive team, as CEO and as a member of the board of directors, effective immediately.
Truist said in a Monday press release that Lyons will become its next president and CEO effective Sept. 1. He will succeed Bill Rogers, who will become executive chair on Sept. 1 and will serve in that role until his planned retirement in April 2027.
Lyons joined Fiserv as CEO in May 2025 when the company’s previous CEO, Frank Bisignano, was approved by the U.S. Senate to lead the Social Security Administration.
Lyons joined the company from the PNC Financial Services Group, where he served as president, PYMNTS reported at the time.
In Fiserv’s Monday press release, Lyons said: “I’m proud of what the team has accomplished over the past year. I have great confidence in the Company’s strong platform, talented leadership team, and dedicated associates and look forward to partnering with Fiserv as a client in the years ahead.”
