NCR reunites FinTech big hitters for top positions

NCR has named Michael D. Hayford CEO and Frank R. Martire Executive Chairman. Bill Nuti, who previously announced his forthcoming retirement, will serve as Chairman Emeritus.

The pair previously worked together at FinTech company, Fidelity National Information Systems (FIS) and Metavante Technologies, a provider of banking and payments technologies. Chinh Chu, Lead Independent Director, says: “Mike is a proven leader and change agent with deep experience across a range of transaction-driven software and technology solutions businesses. His operational and financial acumen, along with his track record of driving growth and profitability in changing businesses, makes him the right choice to lead NCR as we evolve the company into a software-led solutions business."

She adds: "Frank brings unparalleled expertise to NCR - and with Frank and Mike working together to guide and grow our business as they previously have with two other comparable businesses - we are confident that the future is bright.”

“NCR is an innovator in the technology space and I’m excited to contribute to its future success,” comments Martire. “I look forward to working with Mike again and fully expect that our successful history of building and growing Metavante and FIS will help us forge the right path to enhance shareholder value at NCR.”
