adminSuncoast CMO Barrown named Marketing Executive of the Year
Patti Barrow, CMO of Suncoast Credit Union, was recently named CU Times’ 2018 Trailblazer Award winner for Marketing Executive of the Year. Since joining Suncoast, the marketing team has grown from four to nearly 20, and the team of four from 16 years ago is still working with Barrow today.
In the CU Times article recognizing her achievement, Barrow said, ““Every single person in the community needs banking services to build a better quality of life. Now, many years later, when I learned that Suncoast was looking for a marketing vice president, I wanted that job. I believed I’d be able to harness my previous work experiences in a way that could contribute to supporting the growth of important products and services while telling the community-building stories that have resulted from the largest credit union in the state of Florida. Helping people make the best decisions possible about their money is a high calling. I know there is value, quality and purpose in what we do. It’s something good for others and for the communities we serve too. I’m very proud of that.”
