Mid-Hudson Valley Federal Credit Union (MHV) is proud to announce the appointment of Razi Qadri as its new President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

“We’re thrilled to welcome Razi to MHV,” says Gary Anderson, MHV Board Chairman. “From the start, he impressed us with his energy and ideas for growing the credit union while staying true to our roots and core values. With his extensive background in financial services, strong connection to the credit union mission, and genuine passion for community, we are confident that Razi’s thoughtful leadership will guide MHV into an even brighter future.”

Qadri brings over 20 years of leadership experience in the credit union and financial services industry to his new role. Most recently, he served as Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer, and Chief Information Officer for Lake Trust Credit Union, and has held leadership roles at Lake Michigan Credit Union, Flagstar Bank, and Daimler Chrysler Corporation.

“I am truly excited to join MHV and build upon its strong foundation of member service, community impact, and innovation,” says Qadri. “I see tremendous potential to accelerate growth, enhance digital and member experiences, and further strengthen the culture of collaboration and purpose. This role aligns perfectly with my passion for empowering teams and driving meaningful transformation.”

Qadri succeeds Wayne Winkler, who retired on October 31, 2025, following more than three decades of service to MHV, including twelve years as CEO. During his tenure, Winkler guided MHV through a period of expansion, strengthening its community charter to serve more individuals and families across the Hudson Valley. “We would like to thank Wayne,” adds Anderson. “His impact has been significant, and we are truly grateful for his many contributions. We wish him the very best in retirement.”

As a lifelong learner, Qadri holds a Master of Business Administration in Finance from the University of Atlanta, a Master of Science in Computer Engineering from Wayne State University, and a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from N.E.D. University of Engineering & Technology.

Outside of work, Qadri is very family-oriented and enjoys spending time with his wife and two daughters. Whether hiking scenic trails, visiting local parks, or exploring new cuisines, he embraces opportunities to connect with people and nature. He also has a passion for mentoring others and helping teams reach their full potential.
