Meridian, ID – CapEd Credit Union has selected Nick Sanzana to serve as its new Chief Financial Officer (CFO).
He was placed by DDJ Myers, the well-known executive search and leadership development firm.
“We are excited to have Nick join our executive team,” says Ray Lindley, President & CEO for CapEd Credit Union. “Nick brings great experience with a deep knowledge of financial services to help us in our mission of service, financial empowerment and education.”
