Lodestar Technologies Welcomes Layne Hanson as Vice President of Market Expansion & Strategic Sales

Vancouver, BC (July XX, 2026) – Lodestar Technologies today announced that Layne Hanson will join the company as Vice President of Market Expansion & Strategic Sales, beginning July 8, 2026.

In this role, Hanson will support Lodestar’s continued expansion across the community bank and credit union market, helping more financial institutions modernize their data strategy, strengthen reporting capabilities, and unlock greater value from their existing technology investments.

Hanson brings more than 25 years of experience helping banks and credit unions navigate complex technology decisions through both direct sales and leadership roles. Throughout his career, he has worked closely with financial institutions across a wide range of solutions, including core data processing, business intelligence, digital banking, item processing, imaging, commercial lending, and managed network services.
Most recently, Hanson served as Vice President of National Sales with DCI, where he built a team of experienced sales professionals and led the organization’s new logo sales efforts over the past five and a half years. During his tenure, DCI experienced significant growth and became a leading provider of core and digital banking solutions for financial institutions.

“Layne’s deep experience in the financial technology space, combined with his understanding of the community banks and credit unions we serve, makes him an exciting addition to the Lodestar team,” said Divya Konuru, CEO at Lodestar Technologies. “As more institutions look for practical ways to modernize their data strategy and make insight more accessible across the organization, Layne’s leadership will help us expand our reach, strengthen new relationships, and continue supporting long-term growth.”

The addition of Hanson comes at a pivotal time for Lodestar as financial institutions place greater emphasis on data accessibility, reporting modernization, and the ability to make faster, more informed decisions. His experience leading national sales efforts and building high-performing teams will support Lodestar’s mission to help banks and credit unions turn data into a more strategic asset.

“I’m excited to join Lodestar at such an important time for the company and the financial institutions we serve,” said Hanson. “Community banks and credit unions need trusted partners who understand their challenges and can help them use data more effectively. Lodestar has built a strong reputation for doing exactly that, and I look forward to helping more institutions discover what’s possible.”

Hanson’s addition reflects Lodestar’s continued commitment to strategic growth, client partnership, and helping financial institutions move from data complexity to confident decision-making.
