“It has been hugely rewarding to both lead and transform NMI over the last several years as well as partnering with both Francisco Partners and Great Hill Partners,” commented Banks. “As the business has now become a global omni-channel payments technology company with the Creditcall acquisition and is set on a course for success, I have made the difficult decision to explore new opportunities that leverage my passion and successful track record building high-growth and innovative technology companies. I have every confidence in Vijay and know that NMI partners and employees will be in good hands going forward.”
“We thank Roy for his many contributions to NMI over the years and look forward to having him remain as part of the NMI family,” said Peter Christodoulo, Partner of Francisco Partners. “Roy is a truly exceptional individual and a talented payments executive and we are grateful for his leadership.
