Core banking software firm Temenos has parted ways with its CEO.
The Swiss company said that Jean-Pierre Brulard had stepped down, effective immediately. He became CEO in May 2024.
Takis Spiliopoulos, the company’s chief financial officer, was named interim CEO while a search is conducted for a permanent successor.
“After careful consideration, the board determined that this is now the right time to move forward with new leadership to execute the next phase of our strategy plan with a CEO dedicated to the long term, and with deep expertise in our field of operation,” Thibault de Tersant, Temenos’ chair, said during a webcast.
“We are not aggressively against Jean-Pierre, but we have determined that today, there is a need of very clear leadership for Temenos that Takis and then a permanent CEO can provide,” de Tersant added.
