Deluxe Names Tracey Engelhardt Chief of Operations

Long-time executive will also remain President of Checks

Deluxe (NYSE: DLX), a Trusted Payments and Business Technology™ company, announced that Tracey Engelhardt, President of Checks, has taken on additional responsibilities as Chief of Operations.

Engelhardt has been with Deluxe for nearly 30 years, overseeing the company’s strong position in checking programs for banks, businesses, and consumers. Her extensive knowledge of the industry, as well as deep understanding of the operations and manufacturing process within Deluxe, makes this addition to her portfolio a natural move for the company. Engelhardt, who has been a member of the Deluxe executive team for more than 10 years, is the first woman to run operations for Deluxe in its 107-year history. She will also continue as President of the Checks division.

“Our transformation to becoming a payments and data company is clear,” said Barry McCarthy, President and Chief Executive Officer of Deluxe. “As I have said many times, our growth in these areas is supported by our exceptional Check and Promotional Solutions divisions. Having a leader of Tracey’s caliber become Chief of Operations will help us realize greater efficiencies while continuing to win market share.”
