TOWSON, Md.–Two credit unions have named new CEOs.
In Maryland, Peake Federal Credit Union has selected Stacie Sloan as its new president and CEO.
Sloan’s appointment reflects Peake’s “continued focus on strengthening member impact, driving sustainable growth, and building on its long-standing commitment to the communities it serves,” the $523-million credit union said in a statement.
Sloan most recently served as chief operating officer at Johns Hopkins Federal Credit Union, where played a key role in advancing organizational strategy, driving sustainable growth, and aligning teams around a shared vision for impact, the credit union said. “Her approach blends strategic clarity with a strong focus on people, ensuring progress is both measurable and mission-driven,” PFCU added.
“Sloan is a respected, people-first credit union executive known for her ability to turn vision into meaningful results,” Peake FCU said in a statement. “Throughout her career, she has led organizations through growth and transformation by strengthening operations, enhancing the member experience, and building high-performing, engaged teams. Her leadership reflects a deep commitment to financial wellness, inclusion, and the long-term success of the members and communities she serves.”
Sloan holds a Master of Business Administration from the University of Maryland Global Campus and a Bachelor of Science in Management from the University of Maryland University College.
‘Especially Meaningful’
“I am thrilled to join the team at Peake Federal Credit Union and honored to have been entrusted with this opportunity, Sloan said. “Having spent nearly 20 years leading within the credit union movement in this region, it is especially meaningful to step into this role in a community where I have deep roots and that I proudly call home.
