"Although Doreen will be missed by many, we have the utmost confidence in Craig and our management team to continue to build for the future," says Fintegra's board chairman John Lauer. "We are excited about bringing in someone of Craig's caliber to run the business."

Gould, a 15-year veteran of the financial-service industry, was head of sales at Memphis, Tenn.-based Wunderlich, which he joined in 2004. He began his career as a broker with Merrill Lynch in 1993.

In his new role with 11-year-old Fintegra, Gould is responsible for guiding the firm's growth and development in conjunction with other management and outside consultants -- particularly Elk River, Minn.-based Novon Consulting 's Mike Lenzmeier, one of the founders of Fintegra and its former CFO and COO, to shore up its processes and procedures.

Fintegra provides brokerage services to approximately 250 brokers and independent and bank-channel advisors. -FWR
