The Board of Directors of Orange County’s Credit Union announced today the appointment of Kathy Jumper as its new chief executive officer, effective August 16, 2023. Jumper was selected by the Board of Directors, with the support of Interim CEO Lucy Ito, following an extensive executive search that produced a highly competitive candidate pool.
With 26 years of experience in the financial industry, Jumper brings a wealth of expertise and leadership to Orange County’s Credit Union. Named one of the 25 Most Powerful Women in Credit Unions by American Banker last year, Jumper most recently served as the chief retail officer at Members 1st Federal Credit Union, where she oversaw 60 branches and drove organic membership growth by implementing innovative membership appreciation strategies and lean process improvements to create smoother and easier processes for members. Prior to joining Members 1st Federal Credit Union, she held senior positions at various financial institutions, including InTouch Credit Union, Fifth Third Bank, and Capitol Bancorp/1st Commerce Bank, among others. In addition, she currently serves on the National Association of Federally-Insured Credit Unions (NAFCU) Regulatory and Cyber Committee.
As CEO, Jumper will lead the Santa Ana-based financial services provider, which has over 130,000 Members and over $2.5 billion in assets. Jumper succeeds Ito, who emerged from retirement to lead Orange County’s Credit Union for the past year as the Board and executive team searched for a new long-term CEO. The Board of Directors expresses heartfelt gratitude for the invaluable contributions made by Ito, who led and guided the Credit Union while the executive search was underway.
