Mike Fish, SWIFT’s chief information officer and head of information technology and operations, is retiring after 15 years at the financial cooperative.
He will step down on January 31, 2015. In the meantime, SWIFT will “identify and appoint his successor,” with both internal and external candidates under consideration, according to SWIFT’s statement.
Fish has “steered this important function through an extended period of intense change, meeting a number of key new technological challenges while always maintaining consistent operational excellence and ensuring we never veered away from our core FNAO [i.e., Failure is Not an Option] mission,” Gottfried Leibbrandt, CEO of SWIFT, says in the statement.
Fish joined SWIFT in 1999 from U.S. telecom firm Ameritech, where he held various senior management positions in IT, and was appointed CIO at SWIFT in July 2006, the statement specifies, adding that “he has been responsible for overseeing important transformation projects such as the SWIFTNet messaging platform migration and the construction and go-live of our new operating center in Switzerland,” among other projects and services.
