I'm Jody Campbell, an experienced financial executive with extensive expertise in agricultural lending, credit management, and risk analysis.
Serving as Executive Vice President and Chief Risk Officer at Alabama Farm Credit since 2019, my role involves leading a team of 63 employees, including eight direct reports.

Some of my achievements include leading the organization to nearly 50% loan growth while strengthening the portfolio and reducing risk. Additionally, an investment portfolio was established to deliver over $125 million in new assets, generating non-patronage income.
