About Terry Godwin

As Senior Manager of Customer Identity & Access Management at Navy Federal Credit Union, I lead strategic cybersecurity initiatives protecting 14+ million members' digital identities and financial assets. With 25+ years of leadership experience spanning law enforcement, technology, and financial services, I specialize in transforming complex security challenges into scalable solutions that drive both protection and performance. My track record includes building high-performing teams, delivering record-breaking results like 2.5 billion member notifications annually, and consistently improving operational efficiency by 15-20% through strategic process optimization and agile methodologies. I excel at translating cybersecurity vision into executable strategy, fostering cross-functional collaboration, and anticipating emerging threats to keep organizations ahead of the curve. As a PMP-certified leader with Six Sigma and Scrum Master credentials, I bring disciplined strategic thinking to every initiative—from launching new fraud prevention programs to orchestrating enterprise-wide technology migrations. Currently pursuing my Master's in Cyber/Computer Forensics, I'm committed to continuous innovation in the rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape.
