Sharonview FCU Promotes Herb White to Become the New CEO
White will replace retiring CEO Bill Partin when he steps down at the end of the year.
The $1.9 billion Sharonview Federal Credit Union announced Herb White as the new president/CEO of the Indian Land, S.C.-based credit union on Wednesday.
White has been Sharonview’s chief lending officer and currently serves as the chief revenue officer. He will take over for Bill Partin, who announced his retirement in June after leading the credit union since 2013. White will officially take over on Jan. 1, 2023.
Sharonview’s chairman of the board of directors, Phil Ridolfi, said, “The board has witnessed and been impressed by Herb White’s dedication to Sharonview and its members. His member-centric vision guides him — and we look forward to seeing that vision serve as his guiding light as president and CEO. He knows that Sharonview succeeds when members succeed.”
White has more than 25 years of experience in the financial services industry, including 15 years working in credit unions, according to a statement from Sharonview.
“I am a believer in the credit union difference. Our members aren’t just numbers. They are people with financial dreams — of home ownership, entrepreneurship, higher education and more — that we help them achieve, and it is a pleasure to do so,” White said. “I look forward to leading Sharonview as we commit each and every day to going above and beyond for each and every member.”
During Partin’s CEO tenure, the credit union’s assets grew from $1 billion to more than $1.9 billion, while membership expanded from 65,755 to 113,360, NCUA Call Reports showed.
He launched a 42-year career in financial services, starting as a drive-up teller at Lloyds Bank of California and later served as chief member services officer at the $2.5 billion Partners Federal Credit Union in Burbank, Calif., before joining Sharonview.
