The CU Growth & Innovation Summit is pleased to welcome Mandy Zurbrick, Director of Strategic Consulting at Rise Analytics, as a Moderator for the 2026 event.

Representing Rise Analytics, one of CUGI’s Gold Sponsors, Mandy brings both deep operational insight and a strategic mindset to the Summit’s speaker lineup. With 17 years as Chief Marketing Officer at a $2.5 billion credit union serving more than 230,000 members, Mandy understands the power of data to drive engagement, growth, and long-term retention. Now, at Rise Analytics, she helps credit unions turn insights into action by bridging strategy with execution and building smarter campaigns that deliver measurable outcomes.

Mandy will moderate the peer-led session, “Driving Growth with Data: How AI Analytics are Rewriting the Credit Union Lending & Growth Playbook.” This conversation will focus on how data and analytics are transforming the lending landscape. Attendees will explore practical strategies for using member insights to optimize underwriting, personalize offers, and identify new growth opportunities.
