Stacey Bryant

Co-Host What's Going On In Banking Podcast & Director of Client Development at Cornerstone Advisors

Speaker

Stacey Bryant is proof that mission and margin aren't opposing forces — they're partners. Director of Client Development at Cornerstone Advisors and co-host of the What's Going On in Banking podcast, Stacey brings nearly 20 years of community banking and fintech expertise, with a career spanning JPMorgan Chase, American Airlines Federal Credit Union, and fintech payments leadership, now at Cornerstone... from frontline teller to executive advisor. Her motto, bridging Wall Street to MLK Blvd, captures a career built on translating institutional power into community progress, a rare curiosity about how institutions think, decide, and serve, and what it takes to reshape that culture into a model for banking's future. She's guided leadership teams through digital transformation and fintech partnerships without losing sight of the people those strategies serve, proving that innovation and human connection can scale together. A lifelong learner and champion of financial access for underserved communities, Stacey leads with a conviction she credits to Maya Angelou: technology may power the transaction, but people remember how you made them feel. For an industry racing to transform, Stacey isn't just tracking the change, she's helping build the culture that will define it.
