TruWest, a local credit union with branches in Phoenix, Mesa, Chandler, Tempe, Gilbert and Scottsdale, has a new president.

Chris Kearney joined TruWest in 2012 as senior vice president and chief information officer and became executive vice president in 2021. He will assume his new role in October of 2024.

According to a press release he has led many of TruWest’s strategic initiatives.

“It is a great honor to serve our members, employees and the community in this new role,” Kearney stated.

He holds a Bachelor’s in Technology and an Executive MBA from Arizona State University.

The promotion is a step in TruWest’s leadership succession plan as the organization prepares for the retirement of its current CEO Alan Althouse.

“After 20 years of service to TruWest, including eight as president and CEO, it is time to pass the baton to the next generation,” Althouse stated. “Chris and I will work closely together over the coming year to ensure a smooth and successful transition.”
