Michele Quintaglie, global head of communications for Visa, is stepping down after two years after the payments company brought in a top exec to oversee marketing and communications earlier this year.
Quintaglie moved to Visa in 2014 in a senior VP role from Fidelity Investments. That hire followed a revamp of Visa's marketing and communications. She worked on the agency side at Blanc & Otus and its Hill+Knowlton Strategies parent.
Visa in February tapped Time Inc. EVP Lynne Biggar as executive VP and chief marketing and communications officer. She is a former marketing exec at American Express.
Visa has begun a search for a replacement.
Business leaders will face challenges in the upcoming year, some of which will come as a complete surprise, or beyond anyone's imagination.
