Conductiv names credit union veteran John Janclaes as strategic advisor

Conductiv added former Partners Federal Credit Union CEO and Nymbus executive John Janclaes to its advisory bench on June 9, 2026, as the company pushes deeper into credit union and community lending. The hire adds a seasoned operator with decades of experience in lending, growth and fintech as Conductiv scales its AI-powered data orchestration platform.

Why it matters: - Conductiv is trying to expand in credit unions, community banks and other lenders by adding senior industry expertise to its advisory group. - Janclaes brings more than 35 years of executive experience, which can help Conductiv refine products, partnerships and go-to-market strategy in a crowded lending technology market. - The appointment comes as lenders increasingly look for AI-driven tools that can grow loan portfolios without adding friction or risk.

What happened: - Conductiv appointed John Janclaes as Strategic Advisor on June 9, 2026. - Janclaes is the former CEO of Partners Federal Credit Union and a former Nymbus executive. - Conductiv said the appointment supports its effort to build a world-class advisory bench. - The company is positioning that bench to support partnerships across credit unions, community banks and lenders nationwide.

The details: - Janclaes founded The CEO Corner in 2014 as an executive coaching and advisory practice. - He served 17 years as President and CEO of Partners Federal Credit Union. - During that tenure, Partners moved from the bottom to the top deciles of peer performance and held that ranking for more than a decade. - Partners also grew assets under management fivefold under Janclaes’ leadership. - Janclaes spent five years as President of Nymbus CUSO and Chief Growth Officer of Nymbus, Inc. - Earlier in his career, Janclaes held executive roles at Logix Credit Union across sales, operations, lending, wealth management and insurance. - He has served on the boards of COOP Financial, PSCU, CUNA and NACUSO. - Janclaes currently advises fintechs Nymbus, Inc. and AKUVO. - Conductiv founder and CEO Gopal Swamy said Janclaes is one of the most respected operators and leaders in the credit union industry. - Swamy said Janclaes’ experience as a CEO, board member and fintech advisor is rare. - Janclaes said Conductiv is tackling a major opportunity in lending by giving lenders the data, orchestration and AI needed to say yes to more members without adding risk or friction. - Janclaes said the platform sits at the intersection of AI, permissioned data and real lender workflows. - Janclaes said early results speak for themselves. - Janclaes has won the 2024 Credit Union Times Luminaries Fintech Executive Leadership Award and the 2019 Gonzo Banker Smarter Bank of the Year Award. - He has authored three business books. - He teaches strategy, technology and risk-taking at Western CUNA Management School. - Conductiv said the advisory addition strengthens the expertise, relationships and strategic depth it needs to serve lenders at scale, from emerging credit unions to top-tier lenders.

Between the lines: - Conductiv is signaling that industry credibility matters as much as software capability in lending infrastructure. - Janclaes’ background bridges traditional credit unions and fintech, which may help Conductiv sell into institutions that want innovation but remain cautious about risk. - The emphasis on permissioned data and workflow orchestration suggests Conductiv is targeting a practical pain point: extracting more value from existing loan applications rather than relying only on new applicant volume.

What’s next: - Conductiv is likely to lean on Janclaes for customer relationships, market positioning and strategic guidance as it expands its lending footprint. - The company will continue marketing its permissioned data orchestration platform to credit unions, community lenders and other financial institutions. - The CEO Corner continues to offer executive coaching, advisory services and keynote speeches. - More information is available in Conductiv’s announcement and The CEO Corner.

The bottom line: - Conductiv is betting that a high-profile credit union veteran can accelerate trust, distribution and growth for its lending platform.
