After an extensive interview process, McLachlan was selected to replace long-standing Symitar President, Ted Bilke, when Bilke assumes the company's Chief Technology Officer role on November 15, 2019.
David Foss, president and CEO of Jack Henry & Associates, commented, "After carefully considering several exceptional internal and external candidates, we're confident that Shanon's significant experience in the financial services industry, his drive for success, and his passion for innovation will serve our company and our credit union clients well."
McLachlan is currently a Senior Managing Director with Jack Henry's ProfitStars® division.
