Madison, Wis. – Zachary Churchill, VP of Finance, USF FCU, Tampa, FL, has been named the 2022 CUES® Emerge winner.
As one of five Finalists, Churchill’s route to the podium began when he was selected into the CUES Emerge program early in 2022. From there, participants completed business cases and worked toward their project idea while a team of judges reviewed their proposals. On October 5, it culminated in Churchill and the four other finalists presenting their projects live during an online pitch show, hosted by Tim McAlpine of Currency.
Two other finalists, Angela Harden, Facilities Assistant Manager, Bay FCU, Capitola, CA, and Jose Raya, Security Operations Engineer, Magnifi Financial CU, Melrose, MN, were named as runners-up. Churchill and each of the runners-up will receive an educational and coaching package to support continued development and growth within the industry.
Churchill’s winning business case was The Case for a Data Analytics Team.
The other Finalists taking part in the online pitch show were Marilyn Mims, Learning & Organization Development Manager, Northeast CU, Portsmouth, NH, and Randi Timonere, Risk and Compliance Manager, WeStreet CU, Tulsa, OK.
