OAKLAND—The $395-million Sea West Coast Guard Federal Credit Union has named Michael Kenny president/CEO, the CU reported.
Kenny brings over 30 years of senior level executive management experience in finance to his new position, including nearly a dozen years spent as VP of Lending for Sea West. Throughout his career, Kenny has also held various positions in investments and lending at Quest Securities and Bank of the West, along with several other institutions, the credit union said.
The selection follows an extensive search facilitated by DDJ Myers, Sea West said.
