Verisave

Verisave announced a leadership change on October 22, 2026. Verisave appointed Chris Lefebvre, who joins from Fiserv, as CEO to drive product development and growth, succeeding Jeremy Layton, who moves to Founder and Chief Commercial Officer.

What changed

Chris Lefebvre was named Chief Executive Officer. Jeremy Layton, whom Lefebvre succeeds, will transition into the role of Founder and Chief Commercial Officer to ensure strategic continuity.

• Leader: Chris Lefebvre
• Role: Chief Executive Officer
• Effective: October 1, 2026
• Announcement date: October 22, 2026

Leadership background

Lefebvre brings more than 30 years of executive leadership across payments, financial services, and technology. He served as COO of BankServ, where he led the company’s national expansion and its successful exit, later held C-suite roles at eCommerce sales and marketing companies, and founded the consulting firm CRC. Most recently he was Global Head of Relationship Management for Grocery, Petroleum, and Technology at Fiserv.

The mandate

Lefebvre said he was drawn to the opportunity to deepen Verisave’s core solutions, expand its reach across the broader financial ecosystem, and accelerate the company’s growth. Layton said clients increasingly need better solutions to control costs and manage their payments proactively, and that Lefebvre brings deep payments expertise and a track record of building products and solutions around that need.

Why this matters for GTM teams

Executive appointments can precede changes in strategy, operating cadence, hiring, partnerships, and technology priorities. The useful signal is not the title alone: teams should watch the new leader’s stated mandate, prior playbook, organizational scope, and the initiatives announced during the first two quarters.
