Bio

Devon is the President and CEO of Central One Federal Credit Union which is a six branch 785-million-dollar CU located in Shrewsbury MA. You can say the credit union movement has been passed down to Devon from his mother who was a comptroller at a credit union in upstate New York. That’s how Devon got his start in the industry decades ago when he dressed up as the mascot for that very same institution. Since then, he has worked at several credit unions in many roles from compliance to risk management to operations and human resources. Prior to joining Central One FCU as CEO, Devon held several leadership roles at Direct Federal Credit Union as SVP/Chief Risk Officer and Chief Operations Officer. These diverse roles have given Devon a multifaceted understanding of the many things an institution needs to thrive including an investment in developing great people and efficient processes to best serve its members. When Devon is not looking for ways to improve the work or providing industry insights, he spends his time with his bride Stephanie traveling the world, or at the dog park with his two dogs Peppermint, and Chewbacca.
