The company also emphasized EBITDA growth seen at Illuminate Education during Carnecchia’s time there, and the “numerous acquisitions and initiatives to significantly grow revenue while improving operating margins, profitability and cash flow” during Carnecchia’s his years as CEO of content management solutions provider Interwoven from 2006 to 2009.

In other words, the company is looking to Carnecchia to help drive significant growth on the back of multiple important business deals for the company this year, including integrations of its selfie authentication technology and its acquisition of document reading specialist A2iA.

Commenting on the appointment, Mitek Board Chairman Bruce Hansen asserted that Carnecchia “is joining Mitek at a pivotal time,” adding, “His proven record of driving growth and operational excellence will propel Mitek to the next level.”
