Truist Financial said Michael P. Lyons, most recently chief executive of Fiserv, will become president and CEO on September 1, 2026, succeeding William H. Rogers, Jr., who will serve as executive chair. The filing sets out pay terms for both men, including a $1,300,000 starting base salary for Lyons and an $8,500,000 performance stock unit award for Rogers in 2027.
Lyons, age 55, will receive an initial annual base salary of $1,300,000 and a 2026 long-term incentive award with a target grant-date value of $12,000,000.

Lyons's severance under the Executive Severance Plan is two times salary plus target bonus, or three times if termination occurs within 24 months after a change in control.
Lyons's 2026 leadership appointment comes after roles as Fiserv CEO from May 2025 to June 2026 and PNC Financial Services president from February 2024 to January 2025.
