Deluxe, has announced two additions to its Executive Leadership Team, effective July 1, 2023. These additions form a realigned leadership team designed to better reflect the company?s portfolio mix and offerings. Debra Bradford has been named President of Merchant Services.

Debra joined First American Payment Systems by Deluxe in 2001 and has served as President and Chief Financial Officer of First American since 2008. Deluxe acquired First American in 2021, the acquisition in the company?s history. The successful integration of these organizations has nearly doubled the size of the Deluxe Payments business, resulting in an expanded portfolio of offerings and opening up synergistic opportunities for Deluxe customers.

Kristopher Lazzaretti joined First Manhattan Consulting Group (FMCG) in 2006, where he co-founded FMCG Direct. Deluxe acquired FMCG in 2017, with Kris most recently serving as head of Data-Driven Marketing (DDM) for Deluxe. DDM has become a core offering for Deluxe, having grown consistently since the acquisition and representing the company?s stronghold in the data analytics space.
