Elements Financial Taps Member of Board to Serve as Interim CEO

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.–Elements Financial Credit Union has named an interim president and CEO to replace Whitney Anderson, who resigned in late 2023 to “pursue new opportunities,” according to the credit union.

John Huesing

The $2.24-billion Elements Financial has named John Huesing to serve as interim CEO during what the credit union said would be an “extended transitional period.” He will begin his new role on Jan. 16. He replaces Whitney Anderson who resigned from Elements in late 2023 to pursue new opportunities. 

Huesing most recently served as VP/treasurer at Indiana University Health and was also as assistant treasurer at Eli Lilly and Co. Having served on the Elements board for more than 10 years, the credit union said,  “Huesing is already familiar with the culture, values, strategies, and goals of the organization. This valuable experience makes him a natural choice to guide the credit union at this time.”

‘Thrilled to Serve’

In a statement Huesing said, “I’m proud of this organization and thrilled to serve in an increased capacity for the credit union. My service on the board has allowed me to see the tremendous talent and dedication we have at Elements. It’s an honor to be asked to play a more direct and daily role in shaping the future of the credit union.”

Educational Background

Huesing holds a B.S. in Finance and an MBA from Indiana University Kelley School of Business.  His community involvement includes not only his board service for Elements, but also for Firefly Children and Family Alliance, and he chairs the board of its foundation. He also serves on the board of 16 Tech Community Corporation and the Investment Subcommittee of the NCAA Board of Governors Finance and Audit Committee.

Elements Financial, which has approximately 102,000 members, said it will conduct a nationwide search for a permanent CEO.
