Exceptional Leadership and Results-Driven Change Earn Darius Wise CEO Spot at Red Rocks Credit Union2/8/2023 Red Rocks Credit Union is officially placing the organization in the trusted and capable hands of Darius Wise as President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Prior to the announcement, Wise was leading as President and Interim CEO. The announcement comes on the heels of an exhaustive eight-month search to fill the role with the $346,576,542 Denver-based organization, at which time the Board of Directors saw Wise rise to the top of an incredibly talented pool of candidates. Red Rocks’ Board Chair Joeri Carty noted, “Darius is a leader of leaders. He was thoughtful and diligent in stewarding our credit union not only out of the financial and emotional turmoil of a pandemic but led the way through a year-long core conversion to ensure a better experience for our more than 17,000 members. He successfully navigated the hurdles that come with significant leadership changes, and delivered a return to profitability in less than a year at the helm. To say we are excited to have him in the role, well that is an understatement.” Wise began his career with the credit union in 2019 as Chief Impact Officer. Before working in the financial services sector, he spent more than 17 years in pastoral ministry and leadership including key executive positions with Denver United Church and CrossPurpose, a nonprofit that seeks to help families in the Denver area escape poverty and pursue their dreams. In addition, he has served on several not-for-profit boards, including Denver Institute for Faith & Work and Young Life.
