Chief Executive Officer
CurrentAt Paladin we are hard-hitting negotiators standing up to the core and IT banking oligopoly to secure both better contract terms and pricing for community banks and credit unions. With the chips constantly stacked in favor of the core and IT giants, we harness the insights within our proprietary Paladin Blue Book of vendor contract, pricing and market data, and our extensive vendor-side experience to safeguard community bankers against bad deals.A banking industry veteran, entrepreneur and professional speaker, I founded Paladin fs after realizing that community financial institutions needed someone to help them level the negotiating playing field against Core and IT vendors. Backed by more than two decades of experience in banking industry sales and contract negotiations, I drive the team at Paladin fs to help community financial institutions secure better deals and fair contract terms with their vendors. We have helped bankers execute winning contract negotiations and reclaim nearly $1 Billion in tangible cost savings. Outside of Paladin, I regularly speak at national banking and credit union events and am a published writer on strategic technology issues facing the industry. My research has also been the foundation for highly regarded studies developed by the Business Performance Innovation Network on pricing disparities and hidden costs in vendor contracts.
