Thomas Novak enfoca sus iniciativas sobre el modo en que las decisiones impactan al personal y a los miembros.

Technically, Thomas Novak is the director of digital banking, but you'd be hard pressed to find anyone more committed to the credit union mantra of "people helping people."

According to Novak, when he came to Visions Federal Credit Union, a $4.1 billion asset credit union in Endicott, N.Y., he knew "little of credit unions."

Novak desarrolló la primera mitad de su carrera laboral en el sector bancario, pero sentía curiosidad por las cooperativas de crédito y su enfoque en la comunidad. Luego de que él y su esposa se mudaran a su ciudad natal, Novak vio una vacante laboral en la cooperativa de crédito. Envió una solicitud y consiguió empleo como gerente de la sucursal.

"I often say it always comes down to people.'

"Since then, I've been able to learn how Visions and credit unions overall bring a significant positive impact to the communities they serve," Novak says. "Seven years in, I'm proud to say that I am a part of that."

Nombrado hace cinco años para dirigir una división de comercio electrónico, Novak ha marcado una diferencia significativa. A través de mejoras de procesos y soluciones tecnológicas, Novak:

  • aumentó las iniciaciones de préstamos anuales de $7 millones a $80 millones, supervisando al mismo tiempo préstamos indirectos;
  • Overhauled the mobile app to earn high App Store and Google Play ratings–”4.8 and 4.7 out of 5, respectively.
  • unificó, en un único sistema, cinco canales de préstamos (por Internet, móvil, en sucursal, indirecto y a través del centro de contacto);
  • ayudó a aumentar el volumen de préstamo a consumidores de un año a otro en $61 millones (un aumento del 40 %) a través de mejoras de sistema;
  • utilizó asociaciones con empresas de tecnología financiera para crear experiencias más interesantes para los miembros, lo cual produjo un aumento del 500 % en nuevas membresías a través de canales digitales.

At the heart of all these results is Novak's passion for people–”those he works with and the credit union's members.

"I often say it always comes down to people," he says. "When making strategic decisions or looking to implement a new technology, I start with how it impacts people: a mi equipo, al personal de otras cooperativas de crédito y, por supuesto, a nuestros miembros. Conectarse con la gente es un proceso extremadamente interesante para mí, ya sea directamente por medio de interacciones en persona o indirectamente a través de alguno de nuestros sistemas. Mientras más me enfoco en sus experiencias y emociones, mejores son los servicios que recibimos todos.
