Unlocking Strategic Value with ERM

Join this session to: 

  • Understand the ERM framework and its differences from traditional risk management. 
  • Learn how ERM enhances strategic planning, decision-making, value creation, and long-term member value. 
  • Explore the advantages and benefits of integrating ERM into strategic planning, competitive strategy, and growth opportunities.
  • Overcome challenges in aligning ERM with strategy, including organizational culture, resource allocation, and communication barriers.

Jeff has been part of Rochdale since day one in 2006, partnering and working with credit unions for almost 20 years. His passion for the credit union industry runs deep, blending sharp business strategy with a keen eye for risk management. If credit unions had a fan club, Jeff would be president. He understands what drives success: keeping members happy, growing smartly, and staying relevant for the long haul.

Since 2012, Jeff has been instrumental in leading the Credit Union ERM Certification, and is a frequent speaker and contributor to various industry association, league and vendor conferences. He works closely with credit unions daily, ensuring their risk programs are supporting their strategic goals.

Jeff’s ability to connect with board members, executives and front-line teams sets him apart. He builds bridges, not barriers, making him a trusted partner in the success of credit unions and the industry as a whole.

Before joining Rochdale, Jeff was a member of management in the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City’s Management Development Program. He holds multiple Bachelor of Science degrees in Management and Marketing, plus an MBA—all from Northwest Missouri State University.

When he’s not deep in credit union strategy, Jeff enjoys family time and serves on the board of a charity that supports families battling cancer.
