ACI Worldwide Appoints JP Krishnamoorthy to Lead Technology Innovation

ACI Worldwide (NASDAQ: ACIW), an original innovator in global payments technology, today announced that JP Krishnamoorthy will lead the company’s Global Technology & Innovation organization as Chief Innovation & Technology Officer.

Krishnamoorthy joined ACI in December 2025 and assumes full technology leadership as the company accelerates its shift toward smarter payments orchestration, embedded AI capabilities, and faster time to market for banking, biller, and merchant clients processing trillions in annual transaction volume.

“We are in a critical modernization phase, and we need a technology leader who understands how to drive innovation and build smarter capabilities into our platforms while maintaining the 24/7 reliability our customers require,” said Tom Warsop, CEO of ACI Worldwide. “JP has that rare combination of experience in payments systems at scale, successful product innovation and leadership, and AI implementation. He’s exactly the right leader to accelerate our technology evolution.  He is a recognized force in today’s rapidly-changing software industry, and we are thrilled to welcome him to the ACI team.”

Krishnamoorthy most recently served as Executive Vice President of Engineering, AI, Cloud Operations, and Cybersecurity at Coupa Software, where he led platform modernization and pioneered Community.ai, using machine learning to extract operational intelligence from customer transaction data at scale. At Oracle and Portal Software, he delivered significant advances across the product suite.

As a result of this transition, Abe Kuruvilla, who served as Chief Technology Officer since 2023, will be leaving ACI. Under Kuruvilla’s leadership, ACI achieved General Availability for ACI Connetic and Speedpay One, implemented Fed ISO 20022 and SWIFT Hybrid Address regulatory mandates, and enhanced the technology leadership team.
