Cheers to David Southall
After an extraordinary 39-year career in the credit union industry and more than three decades of service to Innovations, Chief Executive Officer David Southall will retire on December 31, 2025.
David began his Innovations journey in 1987 as a teller and has played a pivotal role in shaping who we are today. Under his leadership, Innovations grew from two branches to ten locations, expanded into new counties across Northwest Florida, acquired First National Bank Northwest Florida, and now serves more than 100 team members and thousands of members across our region. His vision and dedication have helped build a strong, modern, and service-focused credit union that puts people first.
As part of our planned succession, President Scott Gladden will assume the role of President & CEO upon David's retirement. Scott has worked closely with David for more than 20 years and has been deeply involved in Innovations' strategic direction, growth, and member experience. We are confident that his leadership will continue to guide Innovations forward with the same commitment to service and community you expect from us.
David has shared that serving Innovations' members has been "one of the great honors of his life." We are deeply grateful for his decades of leadership and the lasting impact he leaves on our organization—and we look forward to continuing to serve our members and community with the same commitment he helped build. |
