Campus credential and payment solutions provider, Transact, has named Rasheed Behrooznia as the company's new Vice President for Campus ID Solutions. Behrooznia initially joined Transact in 2020, and has more than 20 years of engineering, technology and product development experience.

In his new role, Behrooznia will drive the vision, strategy and execution for the company’s suite of Campus ID solutions. Transact's campus ID suite includes solutions for secure access privileges, mobile-centric campus environments as well as campus-wide transaction systems.

Transact’s physical and mobile IDs are used for door access, event ticketing, meal plans, printing, vending, class attendance tracking, bookstore purchases, and more. The company’s campus ID solutions are highly configurable and supported by integrations with institutions’ ERP, financial and building security systems.

“Rasheed is an inspirational leader with extensive, hands-on software engineering and delivery experience,” says Nancy Langer, Transact CEO. “This role will leverage both his technical expertise and his passion for innovation and continuous improvement as we envision and deliver even more market-leading solutions for our clients.”

Most recently, Behrooznia served as Transact’s global head of campus ID solutions, leading the company’s development of SaaS solutions, mobile credential, and other solutions within the campus ecosystem.

Prior to joining Transact, he previously served as vice president of global product delivery at Cubic Transportation Systems, an engineering manager at Lockheed Martin, and a software engineer for the Central Intelligence Agency.

In his new role at Transact, Behrooznia will expand his focus on growing Transact’s campus ID solutions business and partnerships, and on delivering the company’s solutions to clients.
