WICHITA, Kan.–Millennium Corporate CU has named Brady McLeod as its new president and CEO. McLeod had been serving as interim president/CEO following the death of Kent Gleason earlier this year.
McLeod began his credit union career in 1998 as a financial analyst with then Kansas Corporate Credit Union. Over the next two and a half decades, he advanced through a variety of leadership roles—including senior financial analyst, registered representative, department manager, and ultimately, vice president of finance & ALM in 2023.
In this capacity, McLeod led the corporate’s asset/liability management (ALM) strategy and supported its ALCO/ERM Committees.
“Brady brings a deep well of expertise in investment strategy, ALM, and liquidity optimization,” Millennium Corporate said. “Throughout his career, he has been instrumental in driving Millennium’s financial strength, member service initiatives, and strategic resilience. During his recent tenure as interim President/CEO, he has maintained organizational stability, strengthened interdepartmental collaboration, and guided the corporate through a pivotal time.”
‘Utmost Respect’
“Brady has devoted nearly his entire professional career to serving the member credit unions of Millennium Corporate,” Board Chair and Azura Credit Union President and CEO Greg Winkler said in a statement. “As a loyal and dedicated employee for over 27 years, no one knows more than Brady about how the Corporate can help our members grow and thrive. The members of our Board of Directors have the utmost respect and confidence in Brady’s ability to lead the organization forward, and we look forward to working alongside him to do just that.”
Deeply Grateful
“I’m deeply grateful for the mentorship and leadership of Larry Eisenhauer and Kent Gleason, both of whom played pivotal roles in shaping my career,” said McLeod in a statement. “Working alongside them, I saw firsthand the vision, dedication, and resilience it takes to lead with integrity and impact. I’ve worked to model those same qualities in my own leadership, and I’m honored to step into this role as Kent’s successor. I’m fully committed to guiding Millennium into its next chapter—focused on strength, stability, and forward-looking innovation.”
Education & Family
A Wichita native, McLeod earned his business degree from the University of Kansas. He and his wife, Sandra, have been married nearly as long as he’s been with Millennium. Together they’ve raised four children and are proud grandparents of four—with a fifth grandchild on the way.
“As almost empty nesters, Brady and Sandra are embracing a quieter home life, filling their time with family, travel, good coffee, great food, and staying active,” Millennium Corporate said.
