AUSTIN, Texas--()--Q2 Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:QTWO), a leading provider of secure, cloud-based virtual banking solutions for regional and community financial institutions, announced today that longtime financial services industry veteran Bob Michaud has joined the company as chief security officer. He will oversee IT audit, risk and compliance activities at Q2.

Michaud’s experience in banking and information technology spans 35 years, including 20 years in managerial roles. He held numerous positions at Fiserv as a loan product manager, general manager of branch automation and chief of the Quality and Standards Audit Office before becoming the head of all audit risk and compliance activities for Fiserv’s Bank Solutions business unit.

He most recently held the position of executive vice president of client operations at Continuity, a technology solutions provider that automates compliance management for financial institutions.

While at Continuity, he led a compliance team that increased audit production by more than 40 percent in two years while reducing internal audit costs by more than 50 percent. During that same period, 82 percent of Continuity clients reported they were completely satisfied with their overall experience. Michaud’s demonstrated excellence in improving client satisfaction bolsters Q2’s existing commitment to engage with its clients and provide the best possible customer experience across the Q2 platform.
