Visa Inc. announced on Tuesday the appointment of Chris Suh as its new Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Suh, the former finance chief at Electronic Arts and an executive with experience at Microsoft, brings a wealth of expertise to Visa as the company faces a critical juncture in the current economic landscape. His appointment follows the recent selection of Ryan McInerney as Visa’s CEO. Together, they form a new executive team charged with steering the company through turbulent times marked by high interest rates, inflation concerns, and fears of a potential mild recession later in the year.
With a strong background in the technology sector, Suh is well-positioned to guide Visa through the evolving financial landscape. His extensive experience in finance and strategic leadership roles at Electronic Arts, a renowned gaming company, and Microsoft, a technology powerhouse, will undoubtedly prove invaluable in his new role at Visa.
Suh will succeed Vasant Prabhu, a long-serving finance head at Visa, who had previously announced his decision to step down in September. However, before assuming full responsibility, Suh will first hold the position of CFO Designate from July 10 until August 1, allowing for a smooth transition of financial leadership within the organization.

Suh’s extensive background in the technology industry will likely enable him to leverage emerging trends and advancements, incorporating them into Visa’s strategic direction. By embracing technology and staying ahead of the curve, Visa can continue to adapt and meet the evolving needs of its customers in an increasingly digital world.
