BOSTON–Former NCUA Board Member Rodney Hood has joined his second fintech board.
Hood, who served two separate terms on the NCUA board, exited his second term in January when Tonya Otsuka joined the three-member panel.
During his time on the NCUA board Hood was a frequent proponent of financial technology and partnerships with credit unions.
Hood said he has now joined the board of Posh AI, a provider of conversational and generative AI solutions.
"The credit union industry is a vibrant, innovative part of the financial services ecosystem," Hood said in a statement. "I am captivated by Posh's singular commitment to building purpose-built, auditable AI solutions tailored exclusively for financial institutions of all sizes. This focus enables them to pioneer innovative solutions, elevate member experience, foster business growth, and optimize operational efficiency. Notably, their emphasis on aligning products and services with regulatory frameworks specific to financial institutions is pivotal for credit unions. I look forward to collaborating and contributing to their mission."

Earlier, ZestAI, a provider of AI lending technology, said Hood had also joined its five-person board.
Prior to his NCUA appointment, Hood was with JPMorgan Chase, where he managed national partnerships with non-profit organizations promoting financial inclusion, and prior to that was a national director in Wells Fargo's community development lending division, where he helped launch affordable housing projects while working with Habitat for Humanity and NeighborWorks America on educational resources.
