Russell also will serve as chair of the board of directors for Mid-Atlantic Financial Partners LLC, a CUSO.
He replaced former President/CEO Rick Wieczorek who resigned in June to become president/CEO of the $548 million National Institutes of Health Federal Credit Union in Rockville, Md.
Russell began his banking career in 1994 in Louisville, Ky., later joining PNC Bank in 2001 where he served as executive vice president and head of the business banking group in the Washington, D.C. area.

Russell said in a prepared statement. "I am honored for the opportunity to lead MAFCU and to join the credit union movement which is all about enhancing our communities and members experience in a safe, sound, and secure manner."
