Navy Federal Credit Union names president, CEO

The board of Navy Federal Credit Union has selected Mary McDuffie as the company’s new president and CEO, Chairman John Lockard announced.

McDuffie will assume her new role effective January 18. She currently serves as the COO for Navy Federal.

McDuffie has served as an executive leader at the credit union since 1999. She was previously the executive vice president of delivery channels and communications. In this role, McDuffie led the expansion of the credit union’s marketing efforts, launched its mobile banking initiative, and developed a voice-of-the-member program.

McDuffie had also served as Navy Federal’s executive vice president for lending, responsible for the credit union’s mortgage, consumer lending, credit card, and equity loan operations.

“Mary McDuffie is a talented and proven leader,” Lockard said. “Mary understands our mission of member service. There is no other person more qualified for this role and no other could be as dedicated in our mission to serve our members.”

McDuffie takes the helm from Cutler Dawson, who is retiring after 14 years of service with the credit union.

“Cutler Dawson has led the Navy team in every way possible. He truly cares about his team and all of our members,” Lockard said. “He has been the right leader for the right time. Thanks to him, we are prepared for the opportunities that the future will bring us.”
