Jo Wright, SVP and head of Auto and Equipment Finance at FIS, has championed the idea that real transformation in equipment finance isn’t about technology alone, but about reimagining how people, processes and technology come together. He has advocated for a more connected, client-centric approach that brought product, engineering and customer teams together around a shared vision.

“What fuels me is the belief that we’re at a pivotal moment for Asset Finance,” Wright says. “Technology, data and AI are changing what’s possible for lenders and their customers.”

Wright builds a culture of innovation by trusting and empowering people to challenge conventional thinking, drawing on diverse perspectives from teams he’s led across multiple countries. He believes the best ideas emerge when talented people from different backgrounds come together around a shared purpose.
