SAN DIEGO – North Island CU announced this afternoon the hiring of Stephen O’Connell, chief operating officer at nearby California CU, as new president and CEO of the $1.1 billion credit union.
O’Connell will succeed John Tippets, the former president of American Airlines FCU who took over and turned-around the then-troubled North Island CU in 2009.
O’Connell has 18 years of experience in financial services, the last ten at California CU, the $1.1 billion Glendale-based credit union serving 75,000 members.
O'Connell will join the one-time credit union for the Naval Air Station, North Island, in October.
