Guy Chiarello, Chief Operating Officer at Fiserv, has spoken about his career and philanthropic efforts in past appearances. In a 2018 speech as Grand Marshal, he discussed his role at First Data, noting that leaders raised $3.5 billion in 40 days and took the company public in October 2015, and that every employee received stock. He also described rolling his own equity into First Data when it was struggling, saying people questioned the decision. In a 2022 interview, Chiarello stated that "digital is the way people act and operate now" and that the pandemic forced a different way of thinking and operating. He also shared personal experiences, including his brother's battle with lymphoma and his gratitude to the doctor who saved his life, and discussed his family's emphasis on culture, work ethic, and community.
“Leaders in this room today raised three and a half billion dollars in 40 days, took the company public in October 2015, and today a very, very successful company on a track to not only recovery but transforming itself and helping all of its employees to better wealth.”
“Every employee in this company has gotten stock.”
“Digital is the way people act and operate now; digital is the way people think. The pandemic has forced us to all think and operate in a different way.”
“I rolled all of my equity into First Data, which at the time looked like potentially worthless paper in a company that wasn't going to make it, and people everywhere were saying 'what are you doing'.”
