Fintech and Banking Industry Veteran Bryan Clagett Joins Centergy Solutions Board of Directors

Centergy Solutions, a provider of digital lending and consumer engagement technology, has appointed industry veteran Bryan Clagett to its Board of Directors. Clagett brings over 30 years of experience in digital transformation and financial services to the role as the company seeks to accelerate its growth beyond its historical 20-30% annual rate. This move highlights the increasing importance for banks and credit unions to engage consumers digitally early in the lending process to remain competitive in a shifting market.

Centergy Solutions, based in Harahan, Louisiana, announced the addition of Bryan Clagett to its Board of Directors to provide strategic guidance on product portfolio expansion and market presence. Clagett is a recognized voice in the fintech and banking sectors with over 30 years of experience, currently advising various technology companies on AI adoption, digital transformation, and customer engagement. His appointment is intended to leverage his deep understanding of emerging technologies to help Centergy navigate the evolving financial services landscape and guide its continued expansion efforts.

The company currently serves more than 300 financial institutions across 43 states, offering a suite of patented digital engagement platforms including Auto Link, Home Link, and CalcuLink. These tools allow credit unions and community banks to provide vehicle research, home search, and financial calculators directly through their digital channels. By integrating these solutions, Centergy aims to capture consumer interest earlier in the decision-making process, effectively driving potential borrowers deeper into the lending funnel before they even speak with a loan officer.

Centergy’s leadership, including Founder and CEO Ed Bourgeois, views Clagett’s arrival as a catalyst for significantly increasing the firm's historical annual growth rate of 20% to 30%. The company is currently transitioning its platform strategy to move beyond its established automotive lending roots into new areas such as home lending, financial wellness, and consumer decisioning solutions. Clagett noted that because consumers now initiate most major financial decisions digitally, Centergy’s strategy is well-positioned to help traditional institutions compete more effectively against digital-first rivals.
