↑ 3%Why Pentair's CFO hire signals a shift in what industrial companies want from finance leadership. September 24, 2026 September 23, 2026 Pentair has appointed Bob Hau, formerly CFO at Fiserv, to lead its finance function as the company prepares to close a $1.4 billion acquisition of Taco Group. The appointment stands out because Hau comes from a payments and fintech environment, stepping into a traditional industrial manufacturing role. A similar pattern is emerging in our Financial Advisory searches across the DACH region. Industrial companies that historically promoted from within their sector are now actively seeking finance leaders with experience in high-transaction, data-intensive environments. A manufacturer in Stuttgart recently asked us to prioritise candidates who had managed finance transformation at scale, specifically naming fintech and software backgrounds as preferable to sector experience. The reasoning is practical. Companies facing complex integrations, like Pentair with its Taco Group deal, need CFOs who have lived through multiple acquisition cycles where system harmonisation and financial data architecture were central challenges. Clients are asking us to find candidates who can stand up consolidated reporting across disparate ERP environments within months of deal close, and that specific capability now outweighs years spent in the same sector when shortlists are built. Senior finance professionals in traditional industrial roles should consider how their experience reads: sector depth or transformation capability. Both carry weight. The Pentair appointment suggests that sector pedigree may be less predictive of success than it was five years ago, particularly when the mandate involves post-merger integration. Finance leaders who can point to specific ERP consolidation work, cross-border treasury integration, or rapid close cycles following an acquisition are the ones landing on shortlists first. Prompted by reporting from CFO Dive.

PayPal CEO plans for a 'fix' Can selling financial services to consumers, organizing the business into three units and pursuing acquisitions repair the digital payments pioneer? Published Sept. 11, 2026 When Enrique Lores took the CEO post at PayPal Holdings this year, he knew the 28-year-old payments company needed to be "fixed," he said this week at an investor conference. Now, the company's former board chairman, who became CEO in March, has a plan for repairing the company: reorganizing it into three main segments; selling more financial services to consumers; and pursuing acquisitions. Lores mapped out those objectives during a presentation to investors Wednesday at the Goldman Sachs Communicopia and Technology conference. With PayPal's stock down 20% over the past year, investors are eager to hear how Lores expects to resuscitate the San Jose, California company. That's especially the case after a reported sale of the business collapsed last month. Without a sale, PayPal once again faces challenges on three key fronts, Mizuho Securities analyst Dan Dolev wrote in a report last month. They include PayPal's legacy checkout brand becoming a commodity play; potential share loss in Germany; and the threat to PayPal's peer-to-peer payments unit Venmo posed by a competing X tool, Dolev said. Part of the Lores plan is reviewing possible acquisitions for PayPal this year, he said at the conference. "If we do M&A, it will be totally related to the growth strategy that we have defined." As for timing, he said "at some point in the next quarter, we will start looking at that." Lores didn't elaborate on the types of acquisitions the company might be interested in. Dolev said this week that he hadn't heard of any such plans. But recently the company has been getting smaller, not bigger. PayPal has been considering divestitures, and this month began reducing its workforce as it strives to deliver $1.5 billion in annual run rate savings over the next few years. Lores reiterated this week that integrating the technology assets that the company has accumulated over the years through its acquisitions is part of his plan to modernize PayPal's technology infrastructure. Aside from the PayPal brand, the company also includes Braintree, which caters to big companies as well as Venmo. To pull off these initiatives, Lores has rearranged the organizational structure he inherited around three new units, including branded checkout; processing and Venmo; and consumer financial services. Lores said he believes establishing leaders and goals for each of those three segments will improve performance. "The major reason to do that was to increase and clarify accountability, and to accelerate decision-making," Lores said of the realignment. In April, Frank Keller was named president of the PayPal branded business, including checkout solutions, debit card services and advertising services, as part of the company's "strategic reorganization" creating three separate operating businesses within the company, per a press release then. He joined the company 15 years ago in May 2011, according to his LinkedIn profile. Jeff Pomeroy, a former Fiserv executive, was named as "interim lead" for the separate payment services and crypto business, also in April. His LinkedIn profile notes that he is leading that unit. Alexis Sowa, a former manager at Block's Square, was appointed as the "interim lead" for the consumer financial services and Venmo business unit. Her current LinkedIn profile title is general manager for Venmo and a senior vice president. A PayPal spokesperson declined to comment on the timing for determining permanent leaders for the interim roles. To generate more profitable revenue, Lores is intent on having the company focus more on its consumer customers, who sit on the other side of merchants in PayPal's two-sided network. The company has overemphasized its merchant client side in the past, at the expense of cultivating more consumer revenue, he said.
