LITTLE CANADA, Minn.— MN Catholic Credit Union has named a new president and CEO to succeed David Sawin, who is retiring after 16 years leading the organization.
The $42.8-million MN Catholic has named John Hardekopf to lead the organization.
Hardekopf comes to MCCU from Financial One Credit Union in Coon Rapids, Minn., where he served as VP of consumer lending and was responsible for underwriting all consumer loan applications, managing the loan support team, and managing indirect loan underwriters.
Prior to Financial One, Hardekopf spent 22 years as the president/CEO of STARCOR Credit Union, where he oversaw growth to $10 million in assets from $3 million and expanded the FOM and charter.
“His passion for strategic leadership, sustainable growth, and retail operations will help MN Catholic continue to positively impact the financial health of its members,” MN Catholic CU said.
‘In Good Hands’
“I am thrilled that John will be taking over for me,” said Sawin. “I have known him for about 20 years and have admired his many accomplishments. I know I am leaving MCCU in good hands.”
Sawin said he is looking forward to spending more time with family and friends as well as his hobbies of woodworking and sailing.
