Plano-based banking software company appoints new CEO six months after going public
Summary
Plano’s fast-growing banking software firm Alkami Technology Inc. has a new chief executive with the appointment of Alex Shootman to the top job. Hansen will remain in an advisory role through the end of the year and continue as a member of its board of directors through at least 2022, the company said. “I’m so excited about this announcement and the next stages for Alkami that [Alex’s] arrival represents,” Hansen said during the company’s third-quarter earnings call this week. With the acquisition, Alkami said it expects to expand its market base through a single platform for digital account opening. About a year before the MK Decisioning acquisition, Alkami bought ACH Alert, a Tennessee company that specializes in electronic payments fraud prevention technology.
