HOUSTON—Two credit unions have named new leaders.
In Texas, the $730.3-million Members Choice Credit Union (MCCU) has named Luke Billeri as its new CEO.
Billeri brings more than 20 years of experience working in credit unions and has “deep expertise in retail, lending, and strategic financial management,” the credit union said.
Billeri succeeds Randy Theilig, who retired.
Billeri joined Members Choice Credit Union in 2020 as chief lending and retail officer, and then in 2022 was named executive vice president. During this tenure, he focused on strategy and service while championing many member-focused initiatives such as the “Helping Heroes” Savings Program to provide additional member benefits to individuals working in heroic professions such as education, law enforcement, first responders, and healthcare, according to Members Choice.
‘Proven Strategic Leader’
“During his time at Members Choice, Luke has shown to be a proven strategic leader and a strong addition to the current executive leadership team. His entrepreneurial and business-building competencies will lead MCCU into the future as we continue our vision to be the most member-centric credit union,” said Chairman Johnny Williams. “Luke is driven by principles that have motivated him to lead the way for the credit union movement, and his strategic revenue vision will lend itself to MCCU’s continued success.”
Members Choice has approximately 46,000 members.
New CEO in Oklahoma
In Lawton, Okla., the $353.9-million Fort Sill FCU has named Jayson Sims as its new president and CEO. Sims succeeds Denise Floyd, who retired.
Sims previously served as SVP/SOO with Mobility Credit Union in Irving, Texas, and prior to that was SVP-operations with the credit union.
“My passion for community outreach, strategic leadership and credit union operations will help us to continue to provide our members with low borrowing rates, high savings rates, fees and a wide range of products and services,” Sims said in a statement on the credit union’s website.
FSFCU has approximately 23,300 members.
