Bread Financial™ (NYSE: BFH), a tech-forward financial services company that provides simple, flexible payment, lending and saving solutions, today announced that Allegra Driscoll has been named executive vice president and chief technology officer. Ms. Driscoll joins Bread Financial from American Express, where she most recently served as SVP, Chief Information Officer of the Global Commercial Services Unit.
