On March 1, Navy Federal Credit Union promoted Kara Cardona to replace Dietrich Kuhlmann as Chief Operating Officer. Kuhlmann recently succeeded Mary McDuffie as Navy Federal’s Chief Executive Officer.

Cardona has nearly 25 years of experience at Navy Federal, the past three of which she spent as its executive vice president for Contact Center Operations and Greater Pensacola Operations, where she led the credit union’s largest business unit and oversaw functions of its three campus locations.

In her most recent role, Cardona led a team that set records for call volume, won numerous awards for contact center operations and reached new heights in member satisfaction. Prior to that, Cardona served as Navy Federal’s assistant vice president for Projects and Analysis and as vice president in Branch Operations, which at the time included 1,800 team members across 150 global branches.
