California-based Partners FCU names president/CEO

Burbank, Calif.-based Partners FCU, which serves nearly half of Disney's domestic employees and costumed theme park workers in California and Florida, named Ricky Otey president and CEO, the Credit Union Times reported.

Otey was COO for seven years at Indian Land, S.C.-based Sharonview FCU.

Otey replaces Karen Spires, who was made interim CEO earlier this year after John Janclaes, Partners FCU's president and CEO since 2004, left the organization in February to become president of Nymbus CUSO, the credit union service organization of banking technology platform Nymbus Inc.

Spires will resume her duties as CFO for Partners FCU.

Partners FCU has over 181,000 members and 13 branches in California and Florida, according to the report, which cited second-quarter filings with the National Credit Union Administration.
