I Help FinTech Founders and Community Banks Build Partnerships That Actually Last
Not through aggressive sales tactics or cookie-cutter strategies, but through authentic relationship-building that honors what both sides actually need: trust, understanding, and mutual respect.
After 28 years living on both sides of these partnerships, I've cracked the code on what makes some relationships flourish while others fail spectacularly.
"Stacy is the rare person who has worked in so many different areas of banking and has such deep expertise that you expect it of someone twice her age. She continually impresses me with her ability to relate to every banker she encounters, from the CEO to the newly hired teller."

From Lunch Room Tables to Board Room Tables
Third grade. I was the kid who sat with whoever was eating alone while everyone else walked by. My parents taught me that's exactly when someone needs a friend most—a lesson that would shape everything that came after.
Fast forward to Jack Henry, where I spent 23 years climbing from instructor to revenue leader. I helped close hundreds of millions in deals by translating fintech solutions into language bankers could trust.
Today, I’ve built a methodology that turns connection into outcomes. Fintech founders win more deals. Bankers get solutions they can trust.

The Human Behind the Business
What drives me
I champion the "underdogs"—bootstrapped founders, community banks, women in finance, anyone told they're not big enough. Because the strongest partnerships often come from the most unexpected places.
What I believe
Business is just people trying to solve problems for other people. When you remember that, partnerships become a lot less complicated.
What others say
"Stacy is the person who will literally give you the shirt off her back if it will help you move forward. She lifts up everyone around her. I am a better person for knowing her."

This isn't theory—it's battle-tested wisdom refined through decades of what works and what fails spectacularly. The methodology that consistently turns polite "nos" into enthusiastic partnerships.
