The City of Boston Credit Union has named Neil Gordon as its next president and CEO. He replaces Daniel Waltz, who retired in September after three years leading the credit union.
Gordon joins CBCU from Millbury Federal Credit Union, where he was treasurer and chief financial and operations officer. CBCU said in a statement that Gordon would focus on continuing to grow the credit union’s membership and maintaining the highest quality of member experience, including the enhancement of all member digital platforms.
“We are thrilled to have Neil Gordon join the City of Boston Credit Union to lead us into another decade of continued growth and shared success with our members,” Board Chair Greg Rooney said in a statement. “Of all the candidates interviewed, Neil’s expertise in all facets of a credit union’s operation – from member service and marketing to lending and investment – stood out. During the interview process he took the proactive step of actually joining our credit union to immerse himself in the member experience. He understands the critical importance of continuing to build on the bedrock of trust we have established with our members.”
The selection of Gordon follows a search through KLR Executive Search Group that included candidates from across the country. Gordon will begin in the role on Jan. 4. CBCU has about $519 million in assets and more than 31,000 members, according to NCUA data.
“It’s an honor to join the City of Boston Credit Union and become part of this century-long commitment to personal, relationship-driven, member service,” Gordon said. “The tremendous growth of this institution over the past three years has put us in a strong position to continue to do more to serve our members. I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and get to work in making a positive impact for the communities we serve.”
In his role as chief financial and operations officer for Millbury Federal Credit Union, Gordon improved the organization’s liquidity, earnings and key financial metrics such as net worth ratio, CBCU said. He also oversaw the implementation of several member service technology upgrades, including small business banking technology.
Prior to his tenure at Millbury Federal Credit Union, Gordon held leadership positions at Fidelity Cooperative Bank and Bank of America.
Gordon recently became a board member of the Shawn Thornton Foundation, which makes a difference in the lives of children suffering from cancer or Parkinson’s disease. He lives in Littleton.
