TDECU President & CEO Retires from U.S. Army Reserve
July 18 2024 - 1:00PM
TDECU President and CEO Isaac Johnson has formally retired from his
position as a two-star Major General in the U.S. Army Reserve.
Johnson formally relinquished command of the U.S. Army Civil
Affairs and Psychological Operations Command (Airborne) during an
official Change of Command, Responsibility and Retirement ceremony
held on Saturday, July 13, at Fort Liberty in North Carolina. This
ceremony concluded his 38-year military career.
As a highly respected leader, Johnson made significant
contributions to both the U.S. Army Reserve and TDECU. Under his
guidance, the not-for-profit credit union experienced remarkable
growth and success, and Johnson says he is looking forward to
dedicating even more time to helping its Members succeed.
“As a young man, I joined the military with the goal of making
enough money to buy a car, but it grew into a deep love of country,
an appreciation of those who have come before me, and a love of the
Military Profession of Arms,” Johnson said. “My new goal is to make
TDECU one of the top 20 credit unions in the country and to help
our Members realize their own financial dreams. We have a great
many changes coming to our credit union, and I look forward to
tackling this challenge.”
Johnson formerly served as the Brigadier Commanding General
351st Civil Affairs Command. During his more than 35-year military
career Johnson served deployments in Kuwait, Afghanistan, Haiti,
Djibouti, and South Korea. He has earned the Distinguished Service
Medal, Defense Meritorious Service Medal, Legion of Merit, Bronze
Star and Defense Superior Service Medal.
As a civilian he earned a Bachelor of Business Administration
from Mississippi State University in 1992. He went on to receive a
Master of Business Administration from Jackson State University, a
Juris Doctorate from Texas Southern University’s Thurgood Marshall
School of Law, and a Master of Strategic Studies at U.S. Army War
College. He also completed an Executive Education program at The
Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
Johnson was named TDECU’s President and CEO in April 2021. TDECU
is Houston’s largest credit union and has more than 387,000 members
and $4.8 billion in assets.
TDECU Board Chair David Sikora said Johnson leads with
excellence.
"Isaac Johnson's retirement from the U.S. Army Reserve is a
momentous occasion for both him and our credit union," Sikora said.
"His leadership and dedication have been instrumental in shaping
TDECU's success. We profoundly appreciate his service to our
country and look forward to continuing our journey together working
in the financial services market."
