Maine State Credit Union Selects Daryn Deveau as Chief Information Officer
March 2026 – Smith & Wilkinson was retained by Maine State Credit Union (MSCU) to manage the executive search and selection process for its newly created Chief Information Officer role.
Headquartered in Augusta, MSCU is a $760MM, community-chartered credit union serving 37,000 members across eight counties, with a strategic vision for continued statewide growth. As the organization advances its modernization efforts, MSCU sought a forward-looking technology executive to elevate its enterprise systems, digital capabilities, and cybersecurity framework.
Reporting directly to the President & CEO, the CIO provides strategic leadership across infrastructure, core systems, digital banking, information security, and business continuity. As a member of the senior leadership team, the CIO plays a central role in aligning technology investment with operational efficiency, scalability, and an enhanced member experience.
Following a highly competitive search process, MSCU selected Daryn Deveau for this key leadership position. A Maine native, Daryn brings extensive experience leading technology and innovation initiatives within regulated financial institutions, along with a broad understanding of banking spanning risk management, operations, and lending. Most recently, as SVP of IT Operations and Security & Data at Farm Credit East, he built and scaled enterprise IT functions and an information security program and led IT and data teams through significant institutional growth.
Known for his ability to define strategy, build consensus, and execute effectively, Daryn combines enterprise-level expertise with a hands-on leadership style. Motivated to return to Maine and contribute to a growing, community-focused institution, he is well-positioned to lead MSCU’s next phase of technology transformation.
The Maine State Credit Union SVP & Chief Information Officer search was led by Moriah Callahan, Partner & Director of Recruiting.
