Xxxxxxxxx indicated to me his desire to move on to new personal and professional challenges. Xxxx made many major contributions in the two and one-half years that he was with us. He led the reorganization and improved the level of professionalism of our product management, marketing and sales organizations. He initiated and created a united brand strategy for the many divisions, products and services of Deluxe. He also helped to set our strategic direction. However, as we began to evolve our organization to implement our strategy it became apparent that his position as Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing would change, a change that Xxxx led and with which he agreed. Those changes would alter his role in the company and as a result Xxxx felt it would be best if he pursued other opportunities. Sincerely,
