BECU names Beverly Anderson president and CEO

Boeing Employees Credit Union in Tukwila, Washington, has named Beverly Anderson as its next president and chief executive.

The $30.2 billion-asset credit union announced that Anderson, who currently sits on the board of directors of the Expedia Group, will take the helm of BECU on Dec. 5. She succeeds Benson Porter, who has held the roles for more than 10 years and announced his retirement earlier this year.

"From our first introduction, Bev understood what makes BECU special and embraced our purpose around financial well-being. … I'm confident she will ensure the credit union delivers on our promise and value to our members and employees, as well as our commitment to the communities we serve," Debra Somberg, chairperson of BECU's board of directors, said in a press release Thursday.

Prior to her tenure with Expedia Group, Anderson held leadership positions at Equifax, Wells Fargo and American Express.

"Credit unions have been and will continue to be trusted institutions, and they are critical in providing education, products and services that enhance the lives of the members and communities they serve. …I look forward to remaining true to BECU's core and innovating to expand its reach and impact," Anderson said in the release.
