WESTBURY, N.Y. – Nassau Financial Federal Credit Union on Tuesday said John DeCelle will be its next president and CEO beginning Feb. 22, succeeding Frank Cordano, who will retire on Feb. 26 after more than 20 years with the $395 million CU.
DeCelle has more than 30 years' experience in the financial services industry, with half in senior management roles. Most recently he served as chief marketing and commercial banking officer at $3 billion SEFCU, Albany, N.Y.
DeCelle has led a number of departments during his career, including business development, marketing, call center management, sales and service delivery, electronic delivery, commercial banking and community support.
"We are confident that with JD as president and CEO, and working with the board of directors, the management team and staff, our credit union will not only grow, but prosper," Everett Boccafola, Nassau Financial's board chairman, said in a statement.
Boccafola thanked Cordano for his years of leadership and service on behalf of the entire Nassau Financial family.
"I am excited to be joining such a great, member-focused financial institution as Nassau Financial," DeCelle said. "I look forward to working with the board of directors and the entire team at the credit union to deliver great service to our members while making a difference in the communities we serve."
