As chief operating officer of FIS, Gary Norcross is focused on steering the company’s global operations. 

Highly respected throughout the financial technology industry, Norcross has earned a reputation of being intensely customer-focused while maximizing performance. He has overseen phenomenal growth in his 21-year tenure at FIS by following his proven methodology - establish a sound, well-focused business strategy, and then stay the course so it can achieve its objectives.

Norcross joined Systematics, Inc. in 1988, where his positive leadership style made an immediate impact on the company. After ALLTEL Information Services acquired Systematics in 1991, Norcross continued his leadership role, being named senior vice president/general manager of the company’s Community Bank segment in 1996. He was later named president of the Integrated Financial Solutions division. He continued to lead the company’s growth through ALLTEL’s acquisition by FIS in 2003, and was named FIS’ chief operating officer in 2007.

In addition to playing a critical role in the company’s merger with Certegy, Norcross was involved in the acquisition of several other companies, including Aurum Technology, BankWare, InterCept, Marketing Solutions, Inc. and eFunds. These significant moves helped the company grow to more than 25,000 employees and more than $3.4 billion in annual revenues. 

Under Norcross’ leadership, FIS has ranked consistently among the industry’s leading financial technology providers, including a top position in the 2007 and 2008 FinTech 100 report, an annual ranking of the top financial technology providers in the world, published by Financial Insights, an IDC company, and American Banker.
