Cloud-based human capital services company Alight is undergoing a leadership shift at the C-level. The organization announced Thursday that Jeremy Heaton will exit his role as Chief Financial Officer, with Greg Giometti stepping in as Interim CFO beginning January 9, 2026.
Giometti, who currently serves as Senior Vice President and Head of Financial Planning and Analysis, brings substantial financial management experience to the position. His background includes prior roles across multiple financial disciplines at major corporations including Walgreens Boots Alliance, Paper Source, and BMO, positioning him well for the transition.
Heaton’s departure marks his decision to pursue opportunities beyond the benefits administration sector, signaling a planned exit rather than an unexpected transition. The company’s choice to elevate an internal candidate like Giometti reflects confidence in developing talent from within existing executive ranks.
Market reaction has been measured but positive. Alight’s shares showed strength in pre-market activity, trading 1.13% higher at $2.1491 on the New York Stock Exchange as investors assessed the leadership change and continuity plan.
The interim appointment structure allows the organization flexibility in finalizing its long-term financial leadership strategy while maintaining operational stability during the transition period.
