MANCHESTER, N.H.–Bellwether Community Credit Union has named a successor to retiring CEO Michael L’Ecuyer. The credit union has selected Nathan Saller, a 22-year employee of Bellwether Community, to lead the organization.
Saller, who has served as executive vice president since May 2018, will serve as president and chief operating officer and will transition to CEO when longtime leader L’Ecuyer retires on Oct. 1, the credit union said.
Saller joined Bellwether in 1997 in a marketing role, then led the CU’s retail banking and call center teams and later was placed in charge of corporate strategy. He was named chief operating officer in January 2017 and executive vice president in May 2018.
L’Ecuyer has been CEO at Bellwether since November 2001, and during that time has overseen growth from 10,000 members to more than 35,000 and assets growth from $197 million to $500 million.
“We were thrilled that we were able to choose a strong internal candidate whose experience and desire to do what’s right for all constituents makes him the perfect person to take the helm,” said John Gennetti, chair of Bellwether’s board.
