Alight, Inc. has appointed Senior Vice President and Head of Financial Planning and Analysis Greg Giometti as interim Chief Financial Officer, effective January 9, 2026. Giometti, who has led the company’s financial planning since 2020, will maintain his FP&A responsibilities while steering the finance organization through the search for a permanent CFO. The move follows Jeremy Heaton’s departure, who is leaving the company to pursue opportunities outside the benefits‑administration industry.
Giometti brings a breadth of experience from Walgreens Boots Alliance, Paper Source and BMO, and has been a key driver of Alight’s technology modernization and the divestiture of its Payroll & Professional Services business, which closed on July 12, 2024. In his new role, he will oversee financial reporting, planning, and strategy, while ensuring continuity in day‑to‑day FP&A operations. The company has not yet set a timeline for the permanent CFO search, but Giometti’s dual responsibilities signal confidence in internal continuity.
Alight’s transformation from a services‑heavy human‑capital‑management provider to an AI‑enabled technology platform has accelerated under Giometti’s leadership. The payroll divestiture freed up capital and reduced operating complexity, allowing the company to focus on high‑margin technology solutions. The transition aligns with Alight’s broader strategy to streamline its portfolio, improve profitability, and accelerate growth in its core technology offerings.
Financially, Alight reported Q4 2024 revenue of $680 million, a slight decline from $682 million in Q4 2023, and Q3 2025 revenue of $533 million, down 4.0% from $555 million in Q3 2024. The company posted a net loss of $1.055 billion in Q3 2025, largely driven by a $1.338 billion goodwill impairment charge. Despite the loss, adjusted EBITDA and gross profit margins improved compared to prior periods, reflecting disciplined cost management and a favorable mix shift toward higher‑margin technology services.
Investor reaction to the CFO transition has been modest, with market focus remaining on Alight’s financial performance rather than the leadership change. The company’s stock has declined nearly 68% over the past year, underscoring ongoing concerns about revenue growth and profitability. The interim appointment is viewed as a stabilizing measure amid these challenges.
CEO Dave Guilmette expressed confidence in Giometti’s ability to guide the finance function during this period, noting that Giometti’s “intricate knowledge of Alight and broad financial experience” will help maintain governance and support the company’s strategic transformation. He also acknowledged Heaton’s contributions to making Alight a more capital‑efficient organization.
