Zende joined the $194 billion Navy Federal Credit Union in 2021 as a data scientist and has since then held several data positions there. 

Vienna, Va.-based Navy Federal Credit Union is on an AI journey, with a strategy focused on human support rather than automation for its own sake, Joshua Reese, senior vice president of enterprise analytics, previously told FinAi News. 

Zende will speak on the panel “The next 5 years in FinAi.” He joins the following panelists: 

• Darius Wise, president and chief executive, Red Rocks Credit Union; 

• Katie Quilligan, investor, BankTech Ventures;  

• Jim McCarthy, founder and chairman, McCarthy Hatch; and 

• Jelena Zec, director of venture investing, Citi Ventures.
