Mark S. Cochran
Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union’s former President and Chief Executive Officer, Mark S. Cochran served for 17 years at the helm of the Credit Union.
Cochran’s accomplishments at the Credit Union are countless. Since becoming CEO, he increased staffing by 48%, more than doubled the membership base, and increased assets from $600 million to $2.1 billion. In 2022 he was named CEO of the Year by the Cooperative Credit Union Association.
Cochran continued the commitment to staying true to Jeanne D’Arc’s roots through his efforts to maintain and grow the organization’s presence in The Acre neighborhood of Lowell. Along with the existing Lowell Branch, in 2009 he opened the company’s headquarters and is gearing up to open, Acre Crossing, a new company operations center in partnership with adjacent affordable housing units in the spring.
Under Cochran’s leadership, four of the eight branches were added; Dracut – Bridge Street, Westford, Nashua, and Methuen, and investing in the renovations of the four existing branches. He is also credited with adding two of the organization’s three high school branches during his time.
Having a “heart to serve” is a core value for the Credit Union, and Mark shares this value through practice. In 2011 he established the We Share A Common Thread Foundation and since the non-profit organization has donated more than $4 million directly to non-profit organizations in the Greater Lowell, Lawrence, and Southern New Hampshire communities.
Mark also spent hours volunteering his time and is involved with the following nonprofit organizations: Lowell Plan-Treasurer, Tufts Medicine/Lowell General Hospital-Trustee, D’Youville Life & Wellness, Mill City Festival Fund, Lawrence Partnership, Crossway Christian Church, and the We Share A Common Thread Foundation. He also provided service on the following industry Boards: Octant Business Services-Chairman, CUFSLP, Eascorp, and the MA Credit Union League (CCUA) – Legislative Committee.
