ABOUT RYAN CANNADY

Creating experiences that are legendary starts by designing jobs that teammates can put their hearts and souls into. Next, it involves providing an environment where those motivated team members can thrive which includes advocating for diversity, equity, and inclusion. This results in member experiences that go well beyond typical which leads to growth for the company and more awesome job creation. I lead the Retail business for Deere Employees Credit Union. I support 5 department leaders and approximately 90 employees, nationwide, in sales, business development, branch experience, mortgage, and wealth management. I am responsible for the attraction, onboarding, development, and ongoing experience for all members of the credit union. I have executive experience in strategic planning, scaling new departments, contributing to marketing campaigns, and ALM. I report directly to the President & CEO. My background is in teaching, leadership, and sales. As a teacher, I grasp the importance of having a learning mindset. As a leader, I believe in tailoring my message to the personalities of my audience and delivering my message with a level of enthusiasm and passion that is inspiring and engaging. As a successful sales professional, I am able to speak to my team from a position of experience - and I still jump into the fray myself to ensure I can continue to relate and maintain credibility. I received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Knox College. I also attended a Strategic Innovation at Stanford University, Strategic Planning at The Wharton School, Organizational Effectiveness at Cornell University, Strategic Leadership Development at Darden School of Business, and Leading for Organizational Impact at the Center for Creative Leadership.
