Broadening SWIFT's Reach

Americas CEO Chris Church sees a bigger role in the corporate world for the network.

By Donna Miskin | Updated on April 01, 2009

The panoramic view of lower Manhattan from Swift’s New York City offices in Times Square affords a fitting backdrop for Swift’s new head of the Americas to talk about extending the not-for-profit cooperative’s reach at a time of monumental change in global financial markets.

Chris Church became Swift’s CEO for the Americas and global head of securities in August, just before the financial crisis took on epic proportions.
