November 9, 2026
FLINT, MI –
Financial Plus Credit Union is proud to announce the launch of Torque Leadership (Torque), a new venture focused on helping organizations unlock potential, strengthen culture, and create lasting momentum through leadership development, coaching, consulting, and strategic solutions.
Built on the belief that potential exists in every person and every organization, Torque will partner with forward-thinking leaders who are ready to invest in their people, elevate performance, and create meaningful impact. The name Torque reflects what the organization is built to do: turn potential into momentum.
"At Financial Plus, we've long believed that investing in people creates stronger organizations and stronger communities," said Brad Bergmooser, President and CEO of Financial Plus Credit Union. "Torque allows us to extend that philosophy beyond our own organization and share the leadership development, coaching, and strategic expertise that has helped shape our success. It's an exciting evolution of the cooperative spirit that drives everything we do."
Torque, the credit union’s first wholly-owned credit union service organization (CUSO), will serve corporations and mid-sized companies, credit unions and community banks, nonprofits, educational institutions, and government organizations. Every engagement is tailored to an organization's unique goals, challenges, and culture, ensuring solutions are practical, sustainable, and built to create long-term results.
Services include:
- Leadership Development
- Culture Transformation
- Team Effectiveness
- Strategic Solutions
- Executive and Professional Coaching
- Sales and Service Excellence
The CUSO will be led by Bill Thena, Director of Organizational Development at Financial Plus Credit Union, alongside Genevieve Coyne, Senior Talent Development Partner.
“What excites me the most about Torque is helping organizations discover what is possible. The goal of Torque is to take very important people from where they are to where they want to go, and that includes every person in the organization. Through our philosophy of ‘Build, Believe, Become,’ Torque guides individuals and organizations through building a vision and roadmap, creating belief in that mission, and then working side-by-side to help them become what they were meant to be,” said Thena.
The launch represents a natural extension of Financial Plus's commitment to the cooperative principle of “People Helping People.” By making leadership development, coaching, facilitation, and organizational consulting more accessible, Torque will help organizations strengthen their teams, advance their missions, and better serve the communities that depend on them.
Torque also creates an innovative model for expanding Financial Plus's impact, bringing the "People Helping People" philosophy to organizations looking to invest in their people, strengthen their culture, and grow.
