About Tony Desanctis
I help financial institutions make sense of a fast-moving digital world. As Senior Director at Cornerstone Advisors, I lead education programs that equip bank and credit union leaders with strategic insight into payments, digital banking, and fintech disruption. From live executive roundtables to Payments School and Digital School, I design learning experiences that simplify complexity and drive action.With 30+ years in banking and financial services — including leadership roles at Bank of America and Bank of Hawaii — I bring a practitioner\'s lens to strategy. I’ve led enterprise product initiatives and now serve as a trusted advisor and educator to institutions nationwide.You’ll find my perspective in industry forums, webinars, and thought leadership pieces across American Banker, CUES, Financial Brand, and more. I’m also a voice behind Cornerstone’s “Hot Takes,” offering fast, clear insights on market shifts and client challenges.Whether you\'re navigating interchange strategy, digital wallets, embedded payments, or how AI will reshape banking, I work at the intersection of education, strategy, and execution.
