This leadership appointment comes as Neocova further cements its dedication to serving community financial institutions, particularly as these institutions are in a prime position to embark on digital transformation journeys.
Beecher is an entrepreneur, operator, and investor with a 30-year track record of success in both public and private markets. He previously served as Neocova's President and Chief Operating Officer, where he oversaw the development and execution of Neocova's strategic growth plans, as well as the build, delivery, and sales efforts of the company's technology solutions. As CEO, Beecher will be responsible for establishing and guiding Neocova's strategic vision.
