Ryan McInerney, an insider, has been nominated as the new chief executive officer of Visa Inc., effective February 1.


McInerney, the payments giant's current president, succeeds Alfred Kelly Jr., who has served as CEO since 2016.


The leadership transfer occurs at a challenging time for the payments industry, as analysts expect impending headwinds from soaring inflation, which has reduced purchasing power and fueled fears of a major economic downturn.


Following the shift, Kelly, who has served as Visa's since 2019, will assume the post of executive chairman of the board.


Kelly's tenure coincided with the growth of financial technology companies and digital lenders, which posed strong threats to traditional businesses like Visa.


Following Charles Scharf's retirement, Kelly, a former president of rival American Express Co (NYSE:AXP), gained management of Visa. Scharf later became the CEO of Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (NYSE:BK) and is now the CEO of Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE:WFC).


Visa revealed quarterly earnings that were beyond forecasts last month as more Americans took advantage of a stronger dollar to venture abroad and spend lavishly on shopping and leisure.


The shares of the largest payments processor in the world have outpaced the S&P 500 Index as of the most recent market close.
