CommonWealth Central Credit Union in San Jose, California, has tapped Viktoria Earle to become its next president and CEO.
The $682 million-asset institution said that Earle, who has been with CommonWealth since 2013 as its chief financial officer, will begin her new positions in May. She will succeed Craig Weber, who has been at the helm of the credit union since 1995 and announced last year he planned to retire.
“After an extensive search, we are excited that the credit union’s new CEO came from within. … Viktoria’s depth and breadth of experience will enable her to provide strategic direction and leadership to continue moving our credit union forward,” Michael F. Filice Jr., chair of CommonWealth’s board, said in a press release Wednesday.
With over 20 years of experience in the credit union industry, Earle has previously held leadership roles with the $9 billion-asset Patelco Credit Union in Dublin, California, the $1.3 billion-asset 1st United Services Credit Union in Pleasanton, California, and with the $4.1 billion-asset Technology Credit Union in San Jose.
“I appreciate the confidence the board of directors has placed in me to lead [CommonWealth] … CWCCU is passionate about making a difference in the lives of our members and communities, and I look forward to continuing this mission,” Earle said in the release.
