Career

Based in New York City, Bisignano started his career as a VP of both Shearson Lehman Brothers and First Fidelity Bank. [1] Starting in 1994, he held a number of executive positions at Citigroup, [2] with American Banker writing that "he got his payments industry bona fides at Citi by running its massive global transaction services unit." [3] In 2004 the publication Treasury and Risk named him one of the "100 most influential people in finance." [4]

Hired as CAO of JPMorgan Chase in 2005, CEO Jamie Dimon "trusted him with integrating the bank'’s purchases of a foundering Bear Stearns Cos. and bankrupt Washington Mutual Inc. during the crisis." [5] Bisignano was also a primary negotiator in JPMorgan's acquisition of the Canary Wharf property in London, [6] and CEO for several of JPMorgan's mortgage banking divisions. [2] In 2012 he was promoted to co-COO, [2] and the Financial Times called him "one of [JPMorgan]s most influential, yet least visible, executives." [7] [8] [9]

In 2013 Bisignano became chairman and CEO of First Data Corporation, [2] [10] and his tenure attracted a fair amount of coverage in the press.

[14] [15] [16] Bisignano is also on the boards of organizations such as Continuum Health Partners and the Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce. [1] Following Fiserv's acquisition of First Data in 2019, Bisignano became Fiserv CEO in July 2020. [17]

A 2018 Bloomberg editorial suggested that in 2013, Bisignano might have been the source of a leak regarding a Federal investigation into possible manipulation of US energy markets by JP Morgan. [18]
