Azigo Inc., a developer of personal data technology software, has named banking veteran Jeff Carter CEO.

Azigo enables users to conduct identity-based transactions, often those that require login and password verification, with an “always-on” connection. Using open source software, Azigo’s Information Card technology is designed to help people create online accounts using one mouse click, receive real-time reminders of membership deals before buying items online and eliminate the need to remember passwords.

Carter joins Azigo having founded the Center for Future Banking at MIT Media Lab. He served previously as senior vice president of Bank of America, where he directed the bank’s information cloud and data stores and platform.

Azigo, formerly known as Parity Communications Inc., was founded in 2003. The company counts among its users: AAA Washington, Boston Community Change, Equifax, LeMay Auto Museum, Minuteman Library Network, PayPal, Privo and Student Advantage.
