Martino brings more than a decade of credit union experience to Corporate Central, most recently serving at a large Midwest credit union, where she spent most of her career in business development. There, she worked closely with select employer groups to deliver credit union products and services directly to employees, while also expanding the credit union’s field of membership through new SEG partnerships.
In her new role, Martino will proactively evaluate credit unions’ financial environments, identify strategic needs, and position Corporate Central’s solutions to support both existing and prospective members. She will lead face-to-face engagement efforts, collaborate closely with member experience staff to deepen relationships, and assist senior leadership with business development planning initiatives.
“Nikkita’s passion for the credit union movement and her people-first approach make her a natural fit for Corporate Central,” said Chris Geisler, Director of Business Development. “Her experience, integrity, and dedication to helping credit unions grow and better serve their members will be a tremendous asset to our organization.”
Based in the greater Dallas, TX area, Martino will focus on growth and relationship development in new markets that represent significant expansion opportunities for Corporate Central. She will also support select, existing relationships in more established regions, allowing Corporate Central to continue strengthening coverage nationwide.
Martino holds the Certified Credit Union Financial Counselor (CCUFC) designation and has formal education in legal and regulatory foundations, informing her strategic, risk-aware approach to relationship development and ethical decision-making.
“I am excited to join Corporate Central because of its deep commitment to collaboration, innovation, and service to member credit unions,” said Martino. “Supporting credit unions at a strategic level, while helping them navigate an increasingly complex financial landscape, truly aligns with my values and passion for the ‘people helping people’ mission.”
Outside of work, Martino enjoys creative pursuits such as wire wrapping, candle-making, resin art, and mixed-media projects. She is an avid reader and writer, especially drawn to historical fiction, and is deeply committed to animal welfare, volunteering regularly with local shelters and rescues. At home, she enjoys spending time with her two dogs, Sam and Olive.
Corporate Central looks forward to the leadership, energy, and expertise Martino brings to its Business Development team and invites members and partners to join in welcoming her to the organization.
