East Hartford-based American Eagle Financial Credit Union has promoted six employees to executive-level positions following several retirements over the last year and the start of Howard Brady’s tenure as president and CEO in January.

“These new appointments align with American Eagle’s strategic vision, and they will fuel the organization’s commitment to continued growth, as well as several key, member-focused areas – including data, digital, payments and member experience,” the bank said in a statement.

The promotions include:

  • Brian Kennedy as executive vice president, chief strategy and revenue officer. Kennedy has worked at AEFCU for the last 17 years of his 30-year career in financial services.

  • Ann-Marie Katzer as senior vice president, retail delivery. Katzer has spent 31 years at AEFCU.
  • Dara Macchi as senior vice president, marketing and data analytics. Macchi joined AEFCU in 2018 with more than 20 years of marketing experience, having spent the last 12 years in financial services. She is an executive sponsor of AEFCU’s Diversity and Inclusion (DE&I) Council.
  • Larry Michaud as senior vice president, finance. Michaud has been at AEFCU for 20 years and previously served as vice president, finance and accounting.
  • Pam Villanova as senior vice president, digital solutions. Villanova has worked for AEFCU for 13 years.

“On behalf of the Board and the entire team at American Eagle Financial Credit Union, I would like to congratulate my colleagues on their new roles and responsibilities,” Brady said in the statement. “These talented individuals bring a great deal of experience, aptitude and institutional knowledge to our executive leadership team. I have the utmost confidence in their future success, as we continue to advance American Eagle in the marketplace, add increasing value for our members and the communities we serve and deliver on our mission.”
