The Conference of State Bank Supervisors (CSBS) announced the appointment of Brandon Milhorn as its next president and CEO, effective Dec. 4. He succeeds James M. Cooper, who is retiring.
Milhorn is currently deputy to Travis Hill, vice chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC), and was previously chief operating officer, chief of staff and deputy to FDIC Chairman Jelena McWilliams. Earlier in his career, he held executive positions at Raytheon and was staff director and chief counsel for the U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, and he also ran his own consulting agency.
“On behalf of the Board of Directors, we are excited to welcome Brandon Milhorn as our next CEO,” said CSBS Board Chairman and North Dakota Department of Financial Institutions Commissioner Lise Kruse. “Brandon brings a unique blend of relevant experiences, valuable networks and reputation, and the leadership skills necessary to meet the high expectations we have of our next leader, established with extensive input from all CSBS members and staff, that will allow CSBS to realize its full potential. The board and staff look forward to working with him in service to our members nationwide and in collaboration with our partners in Washington.”
“CSBS members serve as the cornerstone of the dual-banking system, supervising the financial services that are the lifeblood of the United States economy,” said Milhorn. “For more than a century CSBS has provided the advocacy, education and infrastructure critical to support our members’ vital mission. I am honored to join the dedicated CSBS team as its next CEO, and I am grateful for the trust of our members and the board of directors.”
