Ellen Comeaux, who recently retired from her role as senior vice president and commercial division leader at EverBank, is the newest addition to Converge 2024’s panel. Other panelists include:

• Bill Verhelle (moderator), founder and CEO of QuickFi
• Peter Hinssen, Converge 2024 keynote speaker and world-renowned thought leader on radical innovation
• Mike Jones, president of First Citizens Bank
• Kelly Furia, head of global marketing experience at DLL

“My hope is that Converge attendees will take away a sense of excitement and feel better equipped to restart their businesses and lean into a disruptive future,” Comeaux said. “As a passionate change agent, I can’t think of a better conference to attend than Converge. I’m looking forward to connecting with fellow colleagues and diving deeply into the hot topics in our industry.”

Comeaux is an accomplished and respected business leader with more than 30 years of experience in commercial finance and strategic development, helping business to successfully tackle their most difficult challenges and achieve their goals. Comeaux built her leadership and change agent focus through her various commercial roles with more than 24 years with General Electric under GE Capital, GE Real Estate and GE Capital Bank. Most recently, Comeaux spent eight years with EverBank, where she led their vendor equipment finance and commercial real estate business lines.

Comeaux recently embarked on the next phase of her career journey, where she plans on sharing her passion for authentic leadership and transformative change with others in the industry. This includes her contribution to the Converge panel, where she, with other panelists, will tackle pertinent issues such as what the equipment finance sector should stop doing, and what the industry should do more of, in order to effectively challenge the status quo.
