I learned the key to earning member loyalty depends upon truly understanding member needs and then delivering the products and services that members value most. I also learned that an organization\u2019s culture can be its greatest competitive advantage.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over the course of my career, I launched new business lines and made game changing breakout plays while still managing balance sheet risk. At key times, I missed not having a knowledgeable and trusted confidant to provide me with additional analysis and objective insights to help in evaluating my thinking.
