Fidelity National Financial Inc. announced Friday that Chief Executive Officer George Scanlon will be leaving on Dec. 7 and be replaced by Randy Quirk, who is currently president of the Jacksonville-based company.
Executive Vice President Brent Bickett will be promoted to president of Fidelity on Dec. 7.
Fidelity did not say why Scanlon is leaving.
"George has done an excellent job leading the company for the last three years and the company's profitability and shareholder returns have improved under his leadership," Fidelity Chairman Bill Foley said in a news release.
"As we are working towards the closing and integration of Lender Processing Services Inc., we have decided to reallocate the CEO responsibilities to Randy and Brent," he said.
Fidelity is hoping to complete its acquisition of Jacksonville-based LPS by the end of this year.
Fidelity is working with Scanlon on developing a consulting arrangement with the company.
