BEAVERCREEK, Ohio–Wright-Patt Credit Union has named a new president and CEO to succeed the retiring Doug Fecher.
The $6.9-billion WPCU has selected Timothy (Tim) J. Mislansky to lead the organization effective Jan. 1, 2022.
Mislansky has 25 years of senior management experience, including 20 years of member-center strategic development and plan execution at WPCU and myCUmortgage, a wholly owned CUSO of WPCU. Most recently he served as the chief strategy officer for WPCU. Prior to that, he served as a senior vice president of WPCU and president of myCUmortgage.
Mislansky launched myCUmortgage in 2001 from scratch to become the largest CUSO mortgage operation in the country. In addition, he has been “integral in the development of a series of new enterprise initiatives aimed at developing new sources of revenue and serves as the credit union’s catalyst for digital transformation for the cooperative,” Wright-Patt CU said.
‘A Tremendous Honor’
“It is a tremendous honor to lead the WPCU team and I’m incredibly excited to assume this new role,” said Mislansky. “As I reflect over the past 20 years, I’m proud of everything our team has already accomplished and I’m thankful for Doug’s leadership and mentoring over the years. I’m honored to carry his legacy forward. Looking toward the future, we will continue to focus on providing the best banking experience that helps to economically uplift Main Street Ohioans so they can lead better lives. This aligns with WPCU’s vision, mission, values, our relentless focus to take great care of members and employees, the nature of the cooperative model and my own personal values. The credit union offers a very strong economic value all around and more.”
WPCU said it spent the past six months conducting an extensive search to identify the best candidate to lead the credit union.
“Out of all the candidates, Mislansky best demonstrated the ability to continue ensuring the credit union’s ongoing commitment to its employees and members,” the credit union said. “He’s already an integral part of the WPCU team and dedicated to its vision and mission.”
