23-year credit union industry veteran and longtime Synergent executive to lead organization’s next chapter.
Tyler Hudson
Synergent®, a leading service bureau for credit unions nationwide, is pleased to announce the appointment of Tyler Hudson as its new President, effective immediately. Hudson succeeds Randy Stolp, who helped expand Synergent’s reach as a trusted provider of payments, marketing, and core services to credit unions across the country. The Board of Directors extends its heartfelt gratitude to Randy for his dedicated service to the organization. Hudson’s appointment underscores the Board’s commitment to bold leadership, purposeful innovation, and deepening partnerships across the credit union movement.
A longtime Synergent executive with 23 years of experience in the credit union industry, Hudson brings a rare combination of deep technical knowledge, operational insight, and broad industry perspective to the role. This blend of experience—working within credit unions and supporting them—gives Hudson a strong understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing credit unions today. His appointment signals forward-looking momentum for Synergent as it continues to serve credit unions with purpose and innovation.
“Tyler has made a lasting impact at Synergent,” said Joe Gervais, Chair of the Synergent Board of Directors. “From his early work as a programmer to his recent leadership roles as CIO, COO, and EVP, he’s demonstrated a remarkable ability to connect strategy to execution. He’s thoughtful, steady, and trusted by both our employees and our credit union partners. There’s no one better prepared—or more committed—to lead Synergent into its next chapter.”
From Tech Leadership to Synergent’s Future
Hudson first joined Synergent in 2005 as a Programmer Analyst, having previously worked on the front lines at a credit union in California and in a support role at Jack Henry’s Symitar division. At Synergent, he advanced through a series of leadership positions in technology and software delivery before briefly leaving to serve in a senior role at a credit union in New Hampshire. Since returning to Synergent in 2022, he has held key executive roles—including Vice President of Software Delivery, Chief Information Officer, Chief Operating Officer, and most recently, Executive Vice President—helping lead the organization through a pivotal period of transition. In every role, Hudson has earned the trust of both Synergent’s employees and its credit union partners through his steady leadership and strategic clarity.
“I’m honored to step into this role and excited about the path ahead for Synergent,” said Hudson. “This is a moment of tremendous opportunity. We have the right people, the right partners, and the right mission. I look forward to working alongside our exceptional team to serve credit unions in ways that are more innovative, more meaningful, and more impactful than ever before.”
As President, Hudson will lead Synergent’s continued evolution as a true partner to credit unions—expanding service capabilities, advancing innovation, and fostering a culture rooted in collaboration, trust, and purpose.
