of directors. A founder and former CEO of a multi-billion-dollar FinTech
company, Muma brings more than four decades of financial services
experience and leadership to the position.
“Les’ deep expertise as a thought leader and chief executive in the
financial services industry for more than four decades will bring
significant value to FIS and our board of directors,” said Frank
Martire, FIS chairman and CEO. “Having worked with Les in the past, I
know what a brilliant mind he has for our industry and for our clients
