Pete Hilger - Promise to Deliver (#67)

“When we understand the big picture, we can apply those lessons learned.” - Pete HilgerThank you for tuning in to episode 67 of The CUInsight Experience podcast with your host Randy Smith, co-founder of CUInsight.com. This episode is brought to you by our friends at PSCU. As the nation’s premier payments CUSO, PSCU proudly supports the success of more than 1,500 credit unions.When it comes to digital transformation, how do you stay ahead of the pace of change, while also providing value? What role can digital technology and data play in the success of the credit union industry? To answer all that and more, I sat down with Pete Hilger, CEO and President of Allied Solutions, to chat about his company’s shift from solely a distribution/manufacturing business to a booming service and technology company. Throughout the episode, Pete and I discuss many of the challenges Allied Solutions has had to overcome to remain relevant, including modernizing their core platform, investing in meaningful service solutions, and diversifying their business. Pete also shares how they’ve been able to build a “better and bigger, NOT bigger and better” business and work environment, while remaining true to their roots and culture. Additionally, we learn about Pete’s time in the military and how those experiences, among others, helped get him to where he is today. We also talk about the leadership lessons he’s learned over the years, the mentors he’s had along the way, and the need to let go and trust your employees. As usual, we wrap up with the rapid-fire questions, where Pete gives us a glimpse into his day, chats about what he does to recharge, and tells us about his rigorous daily workout routine  - I get tired just thinking about it.
