Global financial technology leader FIS® today announced the appointment of Kourtney Gibson to its Board of Directors (the “Board”). Her appointment increases the size of the Board from nine to ten directors, nine of whom, including Ms. Gibson, are independent.

“We are pleased to welcome Kourtney to the FIS Board,” said Jeffrey Goldstein, Independent Chairman of the Board. “She is an accomplished business leader that brings a deep understanding of both the fixed income and equity markets, as well as a track record of delivering financial solutions to a broad base of institutional investors. Her unique market insights, client-focused mindset and extensive background in financial services will make her a valued asset to our Board.”

Stephanie Ferris, Chief Executive Officer and President of FIS, said: “Kourtney will provide valuable insights on the evolving dynamics of the capital markets as FIS continues to innovate and deliver world-class solutions to our clients. I’m excited to collaborate closely with her as we execute our strategic plan to create long-term value for FIS shareholders.”

Ms. Gibson’s appointment reflects the Board’s ongoing commitment to maintaining an optimal mix of director skills to drive shareholder value. She is the fourth independent director joining the Board since 2022, following the appointments of Lee Adrean, Mark Benjamin, and, earlier this month, Nicole Anasenes.
