Dallas-based MoneyGram, the leading global payments network for consumers, businesses, and communities, has appointed Marc Winniford as its new chief financial officer. In this role, Winniford will oversee all aspects of finance, accounting, tax and treasury, and play a central role in advancing the company’s ongoing finance transformation as part of MoneyGram’s broader re-founding journey.
Winniford will report directly to MoneyGram’s chairman and CEO, Anthony Soohoo, and will serve on the company’s executive leadership team. His appointment will take effect in February 2026, at which time he will join a finance organization “shaped by both long-tenured MoneyGram leaders and new talent from top organizations, all driving the company’s transformation,” the company said.
“Marc brings deep financial expertise, a disciplined approach to capital management and a strategic mindset that aligns with where MoneyGram is heading,” Soohoo said in a statement. “As we transform our finance organization into an engine for operational excellence and growth, Marc’s leadership will be key to continuing to strengthen our foundation and unlock new opportunities.”
Joins MoneyGram from Wells Fargo
Winniford joins MoneyGram from Wells Fargo, where he has served as CFO of corporate & investment banking, one of the bank’s four major business segments, since 2022. In that role, he has led all finance activities for the division and overseen initiatives to accelerate growth and optimize financial performance and capital utilization.
During his 17 years at Wells Fargo, Winniford has held a range of senior leadership roles, including Head of Corporate Finance (leading FP&A), Assistant Treasurer, Head of Corporate Development and various positions in treasury and fixed income.
He also spent over five years in investment banking at Lazard, advising global financial services companies on strategy and M&A.
“MoneyGram is in the midst of an ambitious and methodical transformation,” Winniford said. “That momentum, paired with its global network and omnichannel platform that have the potential to redefine money movement, is what drew me here. I’m excited to join the team and ensure finance is a key driver in building the MoneyGram of the future.”
