for the Carreker’s revenue enhancement and strategy groups
and the company’s human resources, office services, and
international divisions.
Prior to joining Carreker, Olson was executive

J. D. (Denny) Carreker, chairman and chief executive officer
of Carreker Corporation said, “ “We recognize that
many U.S. banks are right now carefully assessing their offshore
opportunities in back office operations. Bob Olson’s relationships
with these individuals, and his own hands-on experience with
the back-office functions that are now candidates for offshoring
make him the perfect choice to lead Carretek.”
Ketan Mehta, co-founder and director of Mastek, Limited (and chief
executive officer of Majesco Software), added “Our clients
are looking to trusted partners who understand banking and excel
in meeting banking’s challenges today. Bob’s background
and strong relationship values bring the best of Carreker and Mastek
together in this important role for our clients and Carretek.”
