After a nationwide search, Oregon State Credit Union announced this week the selection of Gary Schuette II as incoming president and chief executive officer.
Schuette will follow Rick Hein, who has served as the credit union’s president/CEO for the past 24 years and will retire this spring.
“We believe the future is bright here at Oregon State Credit Union,” board chair Kelley Kaiser said through a news release. “While we will miss Rick, Gary has a long-standing track record of success throughout his career and we believe he will continue the growth and success of our credit union for years to come.”
Schuette has more than 19 years of experience in financial services, most recently serving as the chief financial performance officer for Vystar Credit Union of Jacksonville, Florida. Schuette has held various positions at the $13.5 billion dollar credit union, focusing on the organization’s financial performance and growth strategies.
Prior to his time at Vystar Credit Union, Schuette held the role of vice president of Financial Risk Management and Strategy at Local Government Federal Credit Union in Raleigh, North Carolina.
“I look forward to working with Oregon State Credit Union’s Board of Directors and employees as the credit union continues to grow and provide outstanding products and services for its membership,” Schuette said in the news release.
