Corporation (Nasdaq: CANI), a leading provider of
technology and consulting solutions for the financial
industry, today announced that Suzette Massie will

Massie’s joining the company allows Lou Buglioli,

sales leadership role, synergizing the offerings
of Carreker’s payments consulting and technology
businesses and increasing the value provided to clients.

officer, Carreker Corporation, said, “We are
extremely pleased to bring on a leader of Suzette’s
caliber and experience. As our Global Payments Consulting
grows in value to clients and importance to our company,
her broad experience and deep expertise will provide
the guidance and leadership we need for the next
stage of growth. At the same time, this allows us
to leverage Lou’s expertise and sales capabilities
across our consulting and technology businesses.”
At Accenture, Massie’s areas of expertise
matched Carreker’s consulting offerings: Payments,
Back Office, Branch Technologies, Treasury and Customer
Servicing for Retail and Commercial Banking. Her
clients included most of the top 10 banks in North
America and many regional banks. She supported them
in strategy planning, product design and development,
customer service, and M&A. Suzette is well known
as a speaker at banking industry forums and a contributor
to banking publications.
Mike Hansen, who has been president and chief operating
officer of the company since December 2001, has chosen
to leave the company. Denny Carreker will assume
the title of president, effective December 10, 2004.
