New Director leads Vancity’s commitment to values-based innovation

Vancity is shaping the future of values-based financial services with bold, market-leading thinking, and our new Director of Innovation, Tim Skelley, is helping our credit union realize that vision.

Tim joins us from London where he spent 15 years helping transform global financial brands, such as HSBC, Barclays and J.P. Morgan, using human-centred design.

“Innovation is creative problem solving in action,” notes Tim. “At Vancity, our drive for innovation reflects our commitment to unlock new opportunities that amplify our impact and transform our members’ experience.”  

As we grow, we’re investing in values-based innovation that builds a more equitable and sustainable future. In his role as Director of Innovation, Tim will unite Vancity’s teams, members and partners to turn bold ideas into solutions that deliver real value for people, communities and the planet.

In its 80-year history, Vancity has repeatedly broken the mold by delivering financial services rooted in community impact. Tim’s appointment marks a new chapter in Vancity’s evolution, where innovation and values unite to scale financial services that work for everyone.
