Mr. Fischer, who brings three decades of experience in the banking and finance worlds, previously held positions that include Chief Executive Officer of TIAA Bank and Vice Chairman of EverBank Financial Corporation. His background in leadership roles at institutions which grew to more than $35 billion in assets will be invaluable as Pitney Bowes seeks to realize the full potential and value of PB Bank.

Mr. Fischer joins at a time when PB Bank is expected to play an important role in the Company’s go-forward strategy for profitable growth. PB Bank enables Pitney Bowes to offer postage payment options and other value-added financing solutions to approximately 400,000 customers. It also holds more than $575 million of low-cost, long-duration deposits that can help drive attractive risk-adjusted returns with the proper infrastructure and processes in place.

Kurt Wolf, CEO and Director, commented:

“As we have been working to rebuild our leadership team over the past eight months, a core focus has been recruiting experienced executives with records of driving profitable growth and value creation at successful organizations. That is exactly what we are getting in Steve, who served as CEO of TIAA Bank when it grew to more than $35 billion in assets. He has a strategic vision for establishing the people, processes and plans required to responsibly grow PB Bank. Additionally, Steve possesses the credibility and relationships required to maintain PB Bank’s strong standing with its regulators. His appointment clearly demonstrates that the Pitney Bowes of today is a destination for great talent.”

In addition, Pitney Bowes today announced four new executive appointments:

  • Benoit Robinot, SVP, Head of Shipping, oversees a recently consolidated shipping organization within SendTech.

Mr. Robinot previously held senior leadership roles at Amazon, where he led European network expansion, postal strategy, and last-mile innovation.
  • Kevin Collins, SVP, SendTech Strategy, assumes a newly created role focused on growth, adjacencies and strategic partnerships. He brings extensive experience across business development, sales, strategy, operations and engineering.

  • David Cossitt-Levy, VP, FP&A, is tasked with strengthening forecasting accuracy and unlocking valuable business insights from the Company’s extensive data assets. He will oversee a reconstituted FP&A team that includes new leadership in FP&A at the corporate and business segment levels.

He was most recently VP, FP&A at IQVIA, a company with a market capitalization of more than $28 billion and $15+ billion in annual revenue.

Mr. Wolf concluded:

“These four appointments are the direct result of us identifying fixable issues and tangible opportunities for value creation during the first phase of our strategic review. Benoit, Kevin, Vaishali and David each bring unique experience, relationships and skills that support our immediate priorities and long-term goals. Notably, they also join us from top-tier organizations such as Amazon and IQVIA.
