Boston, MA – April 3, 2017 – Mark Sievewright, previously vice chairman and the former division president of Credit Union Solutions at Fiserv, has launched a new research and consulting firm to provide strategic insights and trusted advice to credit unions.

Commenting on the launch of Sievewright & Associates, Sievewright said, “Credit unions are navigating unprecedented changes in the delivery and distribution of financial services to their members driven by rapid advances in technology, regulatory change, demographic shifts and new market entrants – notably Fintech start-ups. In response, I’m focusing this new venture on providing strategic insights and trusted advice to help credit unions develop and execute successful business and technology strategies that allow them to drive growth and capitalize on innovation”.

The new firm will offer credit unions a range of strategic planning, research and consulting services. The Strategic Leadership Series, a new annual membership service, is also available to clients. The Strategic Leadership Series will provide monthly information and actionable insights on the most relevant industry developments, trends and innovations. Also included is a Strategic Planning Framework report for credit unions to use as the foundation for their strategic planning work.
