UCCU Selects Justin Olson as New President/CEO

Utah Community Credit Union (UCCU) has selected Justin S. Olson as its next President/CEO. Olson will assume his new role the last week of July, succeeding Bret VanAusdal, who is retiring after leading the credit union for over six years and dedicating 28 years of service to UCCU.

“I’m thrilled to lead UCCU into the future as we set the stage for continued growth and expansion,” says Olson. “Through executing the credit union’s strategic plan, I believe UCCU can help even more members reach their financial goals while making a meaningful impact on the lives of the people and communities we serve.”

Olson’s professional career includes serving UCCU in various capacities for 23 years. Most recently, he served as the cooperative’s Chief Information Officer (CIO). He has also continued his education, earning his Master of Business Administration from Brigham Young University.

“Justin’s background, education, experience, and skills have uniquely prepared him to lead UCCU into the future,” says Linda Makin, Board Chair. “Beyond his innovative mindset, strategic foresight, and ability to leverage technology to enhance operational efficiency and member satisfaction, he has developed a reputation for integrity, dedication, and excellence that extends beyond our credit union’s walls, earning him admiration and trust from various stakeholders.”

UCCU’s Board is confident that the credit union will continue to thrive and achieve new levels of success under Justin’s leadership.
