SAN DIMAS, Calif.–Christian Community Credit Union has named a new CEO. CCCU said Doug Martinez has been selected to lead the organization, succeeding John Walling, who retired in 2017 after serving 45 years, including 39 years as president/CEO.
Martinez began his career with American Standard, Inc. where he held several management positions including managing director of a $100 million international business segment. In 1987, he was recruited as VP of sales/marketing by Price Pfister Inc. During his nine-year tenure, the company grew from $75 million in annual revenue to over $350 million and was sold to Black & Decker. He became its executive VP/managing director. After retiring from Price Pfister in 1995, Martinez founded a privately-held investment company.

"We're thankful Doug considered this opportunity to help grow the credit union. He brings strong leadership and management background," said Mike Pate, board vice-chair/search committee chair. "With Doug's first-hand knowledge, expertise, and network within the church and parachurch community, he'll give innovative leadership to staff and board in fulfilling the credit union's unique mission of partnering with members and ministries to help them become better stewards and achieve their financial goals."
