I’m excited to share that Smith & Wilkinson has been retained by Empeople Credit Union ($2.25B) to lead the search for their next Maine Market President, a key leadership role focused on driving market growth and deepening community relationships across the state.
Empeople Credit Union has a rich 90-year history of empowering its members on their financial journeys. Originally founded as Deere Employees Credit Union and later merging with Infinity Credit Union, their mission remains rooted in supporting its members through personalized financial services. As a member-owned institution, Empeople is committed to fostering growth, creating financial freedom, and building a trusted community. Their vision is centered on continuous improvement and providing thoughtful guidance to help members reach their lifelong goals.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a strategic, growth-oriented leader to shape the credit union’s presence in Maine. The ideal candidate will be responsible for expanding market share through business and community development, enhancing the member experience across all delivery channels, and leading branch operations with a strong focus on sales and service excellence. Additionally, they will drive loan and deposit growth, strengthen financial wellness initiatives, and build key relationships with businesses, community partners, and centers of influence.
We’re looking for a proven financial services leader with a track record of market expansion, community engagement, team leadership, and relationship-driven growth.
