"In one's back pocket"

Over the past 14 years, RMA has advised on more than $72 billion in bank assets, establishing a national reputation for excellence in core system evaluations, strategic planning, pricing analysis, and long-range financial forecasting. This acquisition reflects BackPocketCIO’s broader mission to fuse best-in-class advisory expertise with scalable product strategy—arming financial institutions with both the intelligence and infrastructure to act decisively.
 

Ed Ginn, who will serve as Premier Advisor to BackPocketCIO, brings more than four decades of experience guiding banks through mission-critical technology decisions and financial architecture design. His frameworks have helped hundreds of institutions build profitability models, improve pricing strategies, and execute transformational core conversions.
 

“Ed’s understanding of how banks work—not just structurally, but behaviorally—is something you can’t replicate with tech alone,” said Rus Weatherby, founder of BackPocketCIO. “By partnering with Ed, we’re integrating a strategic playbook that’s been tested across billions in institutional assets. That’s the kind of intelligence we want embedded in everything we deliver.”
 

This integration ensures that RMA’s legacy of precision analysis, consultative rigor, and strategic forecasting now directly informs BackPocketCIO’s client engagements, product roadmap, and institutional benchmarking models.
