SHELTON – Pitney Bowes Inc. last week appointed Steve Fischer as the new president of The Pitney Bowes Bank effective immediately.
Fischer, who brings three decades of experience in the banking and finance worlds, previously held positions that include CEO of TIAA Bank and vice chair of EverBank Financial Corp.
Fischer joins at a time when PB Bank is expected to play an important role in the Company’s go-forward strategy for profitable growth and nearly two months after the parent company moved its headquarters to Shelton from Stamford.
PB Bank enables Pitney Bowes to offer postage payment options and other value-added financing solutions to approximately 400,000 customers. It also holds more than $575 million of low-cost, long-duration deposits that can help drive attractive risk-adjusted returns with the proper infrastructure and processes in place.
“As we have been working to rebuild our leadership team over the past eight months, a core focus has been recruiting experienced executives with records of driving profitable growth and value creation at successful organizations,” said Kurt Wolf, CEO and board director. “That is exactly what we are getting in Steve (Fischer). He has a strategic vision for establishing the people, processes and plans required to responsibly grow PB Bank.”
In addition, Pitney Bowes on Feb. 17 announced four new executive appointments:
- Benoit Robinot, SVP, head of shipping, oversees a recently consolidated shipping organization within SendTech. He is leading efforts to modernize and scale shipping capabilities by developing software solutions that address customers’ most urgent needs. Robinot previously held senior leadership roles at Amazon.
- Kevin Collins, senior vice president, SendTech strategy, assumes a newly created role focused on growth, adjacencies and strategic partnerships. He joins after serving as President of ACI Logistix.
- Vaishali Patel, vice president, Presort Client Success, is focused on accelerating client acquisition and further elevating the Company’s industry‑leading service performance. She joins the company from Hill & Smith.
- David Cossitt-Levy, vice president, financial planning and analysis, is tasked with strengthening forecasting accuracy and unlocking valuable business insights from the company’s extensive data assets. He was most recently held the same title at IQVIA, a company with a market capitalization of more than $28 billion and $15+ billion in annual revenue.
“These four appointments are the direct result of us identifying fixable issues and tangible opportunities for value creation during the first phase of our strategic review,” Wolf said. “This follows an eight-month period in which I have appointed five new individuals to our seven-member executive team, which has in turn been actively refreshing talent across business segments and corporate functions.”
As of Jan. 1, 2026, Pitney Bowes has relocated its corporate headquarters from 3001 Summer St. in Stamford to 27 Waterview Drive in Shelton. This move closes a century-long presence in Stamford and is part of a “cultural reset” and cost-cutting strategy aimed at accelerating turnaround efforts.
