Joshua Brier, GFA Federal Credit Union’s executive vice president and chief operating officer has been named the company’s next president and CEO, the Gardner credit union announced on Tuesday.
GFA’s current president and CEO, Tina Sbrega, is set to retire effective April 1, after which she will take on a new role as president of Lighthouse Biz Solutions, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of GFA Federal Credit Union which provides banking services to cannabis companies. Sbrega announced her retirement in November.
“GFA is an outstanding organization highly regarded for its fiscal responsibility, mission-driven, community involvement, and innovation,” Sbrega said in a statement. “It will be my honor to pass the torch along to Mr. Brier.”
Brier has served in his current roles at GFA for over two years. He has 15 years of banking experience and holds a master of business administration from New England College of Business in Boston, as well as a bachelor of science from Arizona State University.
“I have spent my career preparing for this opportunity, and I am humbled the board has placed their confidence in me to lead this organization and continue serving the membership and the community,” Brier said.
