Banking software company Temenos has appointed Takis Spiliopoulos as its new CEO, effective immediately.
He has served as the company’s Chief Financial Officer since 2019 and took on the role of Interim CEO in September 2025.
He now holds the positions of CEO and interim Chief Financial Officer.
The appointment follows a search process led by the board and supported by an external executive search firm, which considered both internal and external candidates.
Temenos said the decision reflects the board’s assessment of his leadership experience, familiarity with the company’s long-term plans and his background in software, product development, finance and operations.
Spiliopoulos has been involved in shaping the company’s strategic roadmap and overseeing its execution over the past year.
Before joining Temenos, he held senior roles in investment research and technology coverage at Vontobel, where he advised clients on capital market transactions and technology investments.
Earlier in his career, he worked in venture capital and in management and technology consulting for financial institutions.
The company has also noted his experience working with teams and contributing to organisational culture.
Temenos will now begin a search for a new Chief Financial Officer, with updates to follow.
Thibault de Tersant, Chair of the Board, said,
“On behalf of the board, I congratulate Takis on his appointment as CEO. He has been instrumental in defining and executing our strategy, delivering strong results while continuing to invest for long-term growth. In his role as Interim CEO, Takis clearly demonstrated he was the right choice for the CEO role, having brought stability and an execution-focused mindset to the company.
In addition to bringing our employees together, he has also helped preserve our corporate culture and values, empowering his team to deliver for all stakeholders. We are confident he will continue to drive Temenos forward.”
Takis Spiliopoulos, Chief Executive Officer, said,
“I am honored to lead Temenos in its next chapter of growth and thank the board for their trust and confidence. Our strategy and investment plan are clear, and our strategic roadmap and priorities remain unchanged; delivering value for our clients and shareholders.
Temenos has a strong set of values built on collaboration, empowerment and trust. I look forward to working with our Executive Committee and across the business, to further strengthen our people-first culture and drive our future growth.”
