EXTON, Penn.– Citadel Credit Union has named a new president and CEO to succeed the retiring Jeff March, who led the organization for 22 years.
The $5.7-billion Citadel has selected Bill Brown to lead the organization.
“With more than 25 years of senior leadership experience in the financial services sector, Bill has worked for banks of varying scales; including global, regional and community institutions such as Citi, HSBC, BNY Mellon, Investors Bank and Dime,” Citadel Credit Union said. “Bill brings experience leading programs focused on retail and business banking, wealth management, consumer and small business lending, operational risk, and client service.”
Prior to beginning his banking career, Brown served nearly eight years as a naval flight officer in the US Navy.
‘Couldn’t be Happier’
"I couldn't be happier to join the wonderful Citadel team," said Brown. "I plan to continue building upon the legacy and people-first culture Jeff has set for this industry-leading credit union and driving us forward by focusing on our members' needs. I have a firm belief that people deserve a financial institution that cares about giving them a better experience and improving their financial wellbeing, and that's exactly why I chose Citadel, and what I'll continue to prioritize."
A March Toward Growth
Citadel noted that during his career, March, who began working at Citadel 40 years ago in 1983 and who was named CEO in 2001, oversaw asset growth to $5.7-billion from $350 million, expanded the FOM, and increased the employee count to nearly 600.
