Identifi, the leading independent provider of Enterprise Content Management and Workflow software for Banks and Credit Unions, today announced a significant leadership transition. Founder and long-time CEO, Al Wiessner, will retire at the end of 2025 after more than 35 years of dedicated service. Kaushal Pandya, currently Chief Technology Officer, will assume the role of Chief Executive Officer.
Al will continue to support Identifi as CEO Emeritus and Executive Board Member through the end of the year, ensuring a smooth handover and continued commitment to Identifi’s partners and customers.
Al Wiessner, Founder and outgoing CEO, said:
“It has been the honor of my professional life to build and lead Identifi. Over three decades, we’ve grown from a small startup to a recognized leader in content management and workflow solutions for financial institutions. I could not be more proud of the team we have assembled and the customers we serve. As I transition into retirement, I am confident that Kaushal’s vision and leadership will guide Identifi into an even brighter future.”
Kaushal Pandya, incoming CEO, said:
“I am humbled and excited to step into the role of CEO at such a pivotal moment in Identifi’s journey. Our foundation is strong thanks to Al’s leadership, and our opportunities for innovation have never been greater. I look forward to continuing our mission of delivering exceptional value to our customers, while driving new growth and technical excellence across our product suite.”

We are equally excited to welcome Kaushal into his new role. His track record of technical innovation and thoughtful leadership makes him the right person to guide Identifi into its next chapter. With Al’s legacy and Kaushal’s vision, Identifi is positioned for decades of continued success.”
