Meet the Founder
Founder & Principal Advisor, Advanedge Consulting
Marvin Tellez is a fintech strategy leader and digital transformation executive who has spent his career at the intersection of banking technology and operational execution. He founded Advanedge Consulting to give banks, credit unions, and the fintech companies that serve them access to the kind of partner he wished existed — one who speaks the language of the boardroom, the implementation team, and the buyer.
His expertise is built from the inside out. With deep operator-level experience across the Abrigo ecosystem — including LOS implementation, Jack Henry integration, workflow design, and AI-enabled lending operations — Marvin brings a level of platform knowledge that most consultants simply don't have. He understands the difference between a technically successful go-live and a transformation that actually changes how a bank operates.
Marvin has served as a trusted technology advisor and executive leader for community banks and credit unions across the country, earning recognition from CEOs, CIOs, and technology officers for his ability to bridge strategic vision with practical delivery. He holds graduate-level education from Harvard Extension School and has authored published work on AI in banking, intelligent document processing, and embedded finance.
Based in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, Marvin works with banks, credit unions, and fintech companies nationwide — from strategy and technology through implementation, adoption, and growth.
