Seasoned executive joins CUSO to drive financial strategy and support meaningful growth

FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich.: MDT, a CUSO that helps credit unions navigate complex financial technology ecosystems, today announced the appointment of Emily Szymczak as Chief Financial Officer, helping support and guide the company’s financial strategy at scale.

Szymczak brings over 23 years of dynamic financial expertise to the role, including a strong background in M&A, process improvement and financial planning and analysis. Her career began in consulting, where she spent a decade immersed in projects involving strategy, turnaround and M&A. From there, she accepted a role at a major Chicago-based ad agency, partnering with account teams to manage revenue, billing and profitability for the agency’s largest clients. Over the next several years, Szymczak guided multiple agencies through the successful acquisition of high-growth companies, building scalable back-office infrastructures to support rapid expansion. Most recently, she founded her own consulting firm, establishing it as a go-to partner for businesses seeking strategic financial guidance and transformative growth.

“What first drew me to MDT was the culture and the impressive tenure of its team – a true team mentality where collaboration isn’t just talked about, it’s lived. Such dedication to excellence is also mirrored in the CUSO’s deep partnerships with clients,” said Szymczak. “I joined MDT at an exciting time – we are laser focused on serving as a trusted guide for credit unions, helping them navigate the complexities of today’s fintech landscape. We are doing this with modern technology, expanded offerings and an elevated go-forward company strategy. I look forward to being part of this journey and helping the organization scale for even greater impact.”

Szymczak's appointment comes on the heels of the recent transition of former CFO Chris Kowal into the role of CEO. With her strong track record of success and deep financial expertise, Szymczak will play a vital role in advancing MDT’s growth strategy, empowering the company to support even more credit unions across the country.

“Emily brings a proven track record of success of supporting strategic growth. This excellence and skillset, combined with her work ethic and enthusiasm for the industry, make her an ideal fit for the MDT leadership team,” said Chris Kowal, CEO and president at MDT. “Emily has already hit the ground running, and we are confident that she will be extremely valuable in helping us strategically grow and help credit unions remain institutions of choice for their members.”
