Libro Credit Union appoints Shawn Good as President & CEO

 

Libro Credit Union’s Board of Directors has announced the appointment of Shawn Good as President, Chief Executive Officer and Head Coach, effective May 1, 2023.

 

“I am excited to welcome Shawn Good to Libro – and back to his roots in southwestern Ontario,” said Jacquie Davison, Chair of Libro’s Board. “Shawn was an outstanding candidate in an impressive field and comes to Libro with more than 25 years of experience in financial services.

 

“He is an inspirational leader, having previously served as the President & CEO of Prospera Credit Union in B.C. and, most recently, SaskCentral in Saskatchewan, and has a strong understanding of the needs of credit unions competing in a digital world.

 

“As a courageous and respected figure in the credit union system, Shawn is the ideal person to lead Libro forward through times of accelerated change.”

 

Shawn, who lives in Waterloo Region with his wife Jen and family, enjoys hockey, fishing, and time at their cottage in northern Ontario. He grew up on a farm in rural Ontario and began his career with Mennonite Savings and Credit Union (now Kindred Credit Union). In his varied career he has held Executive and Board roles at organizations across Canada within the credit union sector. He brings a track record of leadership that is rooted in values, purpose, and strategic clarity, as a means to make a difference for all stakeholders.

 

Shawn Good said: “I’m both grateful and honored to partner with Libro to advance their purpose, vision, and impressive legacy serving owners and communities across southwestern Ontario. I’m excited for the opportunity to leverage my values, experience, and passion for serving Owners, as head coach at Libro.”

 

Libro’s new President & CEO is expected to take up his role on May 1. Libro’s current CEO, Steve Bolton, remains in his post until March 8. From March 9 to April 30, Carol Normandeau, Libro’s Executive Vice President, Advice & Service, will be CEO on an interim basis.
