LONG ISLAND CITY, N.Y.—The $9.8-billion United Nations Federal Credit Union has named Pamela Agnone president and CEO, the CU reported.
Agnone previously served as UNFCU executive vice president. She succeeds John Lewis, who held the top role since 2021.

“We recognize and thank John for his many contributions to the organization, and his visionary leadership of UNFCU through a period of tremendous growth,” said Theresa Panuccio, UNFCU board chairperson. “Pam brings more than 30 years of financial services expertise to the role. Her experience, strategic insight, and commitment to UNFCU’s values make her perfectly positioned to guide us into the future.”
“I’m proud of what has been accomplished in the nearly 25 years that I’ve served the organization – all in the interest of our members,” said Lewis. “Pam’s deep knowledge of the business and passion for serving members give me great confidence that UNFCU is in good hands as the organization continues on its journey.”
Agnone joined UNFCU in 1999 as vice president of lending. During her tenure, she oversaw global member service delivery, lending, product solutions, marketing, operations, and UN relations.
