PANAMA CITY, Fla.–Jim Warren, president and CEO of Tyndall Federal Credit Union, said he plans to retire effective January 2025 after a 20-year tenure.
The $1.9-billion Tyndall FCU said it has launched a search for a successor.
“As Tyndall’s longest-serving CEO, Warren has provided the strong and steady leadership needed to ensure the credit union is well-prepared to continue serving its members through valuable and impactful financial solutions,” the credit union said in a statement. “Warren has been instrumental in shaping the success of Tyndall during his tenure. Under his leadership, the credit union achieved numerous milestones, including the largest profit share in Tyndall’s history ($23 million, December 2023) totaling over $62 Million in member deposits over the last five years.”
Challenging Times
The credit union said Warren also led the organization through some of its most challenging times, including the Great Recession, category 5 Hurricane Michael, and numerous organizational transformations designed to “spend less and give more.”
"It has been an honor to lead Team Tyndall and work with our board of directors in our efforts to constantly increase membership value, through good times and bad, for the last 20 years,” Warren said in a statement. “This team, with the full support of our board, has devoted itself to using our tax benefit, co-op structure, and operating model to reduce the financial pressures of our members and, most of all, our single moms. No other credit union has done this better than us. Thank you, from top to bottom, for working together, staying focused, and helping us be the best no-nonsense, value-driven credit union in the nation."
Near 40-Year Career
Tyndall FCU noted Warren's career has spanned over 38 years in the financial services arena, including 33 years as a CEO. He joined Tyndall in 2004 upon his departure from Firefighters FCU in Houston, where he served as CEO. Before that, he held roles as CEO of C-E Federal Credit Union in Houston and VP-accounting at Gulf Coast Educators FCU Pasadena, Texas.
Tyndall FCU has approximately 112,000 members.
