Cornerstone Advisors: Meet Stacey Bryant, Director of Client Development

Stacey Bryant is the Director of Client Development at Cornerstone Advisors, where she partners with credit union leaders to uncover challenges and bring their strategic goals to life. With nearly 20 years of experience in community banking, credit unions, and fintech, Stacey understands the balance between meeting operational demands and serving the real needs of members, especially those who are underserved.

At Cornerstone, Stacey helps credit unions transform the foundation of their vendor relationships. She and her team create contract roadmaps that align with each credit union's strategic plan and use proprietary benchmarking tools and peer data to secure the best pricing and performance. These savings allow credit unions to reinvest in transformational initiatives that scale their people, processes, and technology-while staying true to their community mission.

An Afro-Latina leader, Stacey brings curiosity, diverse perspective, and practical expertise to her role. She helps credit unions reimagine their relevance in a fast-changing financial landscape, translating mission into margin and ensuring lasting impact for members.

If your credit union is in strategic planning season or facing challenges you want to address now, Stacey is ready to help. She can be reached directly at [email protected]. Sometimes the first step is as simple as saying, "I need 30 minutes."

Outside of work, Stacey is a proud mom of two daughters, ages 7 and 9, who run the house with sass and humor. Their Friday movie nights-complete with witty critiques of her childhood classics-keep her grounded, purposeful, and always laughing.
