ACI Worldwide, a Florida-based provider of global payments software and solutions, has named Robert Leibrock as its new Chief Financial Officer, effective 1 July.

He will take over from Scott Behrens, who is retiring after nearly 20 years with the company.

Leibrock joins ACI from Red Hat, where he currently serves as Senior Vice President, Chief Operating Officer and CFO.

At Red Hat, a company focused on open hybrid cloud technologies, he oversaw financial operations during a period of significant growth and organisational transformation, including initiatives related to artificial intelligence.

Prior to this, he held several senior finance roles at IBM, where he was involved in financial strategy, operational improvements, and revenue growth.

“I am delighted to welcome Bobby to ACI,”

said Thomas Warsop, President and CEO of ACI Worldwide.

“His experience leading finance functions in global, complex environments, particularly in cloud and SaaS-focused businesses, will be valuable as we continue to implement our growth strategy. His financial expertise and strategic insight will support our efforts to maintain financial discipline and operational strength.”

Leibrock said,

“I’m excited to join ACI Worldwide at such a pivotal moment in the development of payments and real-time technology. I look forward to working with Tom and the broader team to help scale innovation, improve financial performance, and contribute to the company’s long-term goals.”
