Walden Mutual Bank Raises $24M From Community Investors to Create a Sustainable Food Focused Digital Bank - Charley Cummings // President and CEO of Walden Mutual

Show Notes

In Episode 155 of the Disruptors for Good podcast, we speak with Charley Cummings, President and CEO of Walden Mutual Bank, on creating a sustainable food focused digital bank and helping people grow their savings while supporting local farms and food businesses daring to do things differently.

Charley started Walden Mutual to help people grow their savings while supporting local farms and food businesses daring to do things differently. After 8 years as founder and CEO of Walden Local - a sustainable meat company, which now serves thousands of families across the Northeast - Charley has brought the shared name and ethos to the banking world (though the two companies do not share a formal relationship).

Before Walden (1 and 2) Charley played key roles in companies and non-profits covering commercial-scale composting, offshore wind energy, and management consulting.
