Gesa Credit Union, which serves members in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho, announced the promotion of Blaine Wren to Vice President of Finance and Accounting. In his new role, Wren will help drive Gesa’s financial strategy, oversee the finance and accounting teams, and support the organization toward its goal of reaching $10 billion in assets.

Since joining Gesa in April 2013, Wren has held various roles including Financial Analyst and Finance Manager/Team Leader, where he has made significant contributions to the credit union’s success. Notably, he led the annual budgeting process, implemented an organization-wide system for budgeting, profitability, and reporting, and developed advanced profitability models that align financial operations with Gesa’s strategic goals. In his new role, Wren will continue building on this work by leveraging financial data to drive decision-making, support Gesa’s growth, and further strengthen its financial foundation.
