CORNING, N.Y. – With the launch of KB Meyer Consulting – Outside the Vault, Karen Meyer is looking to help credit unions build their strategic muscles. The new firm focuses on leveraging Web technology to offer “powerful tools and fresh, innovative planning options.” With over 23 years of credit union and consulting experience, Meyer says she is interested in taking clients “outside the vault” to other industries and business models for inspiration. Meyer resigned from the New York State Credit Union League in early 2005 where she was a director and successful strategy consultant. Prior to working for trade associations, Meyer held executive management positions in three progressive credit unions in New York. “Although we in CU Land are big on philosophy, it's time to get strategic about our difference-and different about strategy,” said Meyer on her Web site www.outsidethevault.com. “With a passion for business and strategy galvanized with years of credit union experience, I've designed an approach that's focused on creating strategic thinkers and leaders.”
