We’re excited to have him join our team during such a notable time for Finicity and our industry.”

During Laukka’s tenure as Optum Bank’s CFO, he grew the financial institution from a $14 million de novo bank to the largest HSA provider in the nation, with assets in excess of $6 billion and 2.9 million account holders. Prior to Optum Bank, he was instrumental in the establishment of In2M, the predecessor to Finicity and its Mvelopes® personal financial management platform. Laukka’s background in financial services includes mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, SEC reporting and delivering profitable growth.

Laukka received his MBA from Michigan State University and is a member of the Utah Association of Certified Public Accountants.
