Andrew Grimm, CEO Apple Federal Credit Union

Andrew C. Grimm was named Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Apple Federal Credit Union in July 2017.  In this position, he is leading Apple’s quest to improve the member experience and fill the growing void in prominent community financial institutions.  To achieve this, Apple will re-engineer branches, enhance digital banking capabilities, offer personalized commercial services and acquire like-minded financial institutions in adjacent regions.

Prior to being named CEO, Andy was Executive Vice President/Chief Operating Officer (COO) beginning in 2004, where he was responsible for all functional areas of the credit union. In this capacity, he oversaw the execution of many major strategic initiatives, including nearly a dozen new branches, technological enhancements, a greater emphasis on the educational community, an employer of choice initiative and several mergers and acquisitions.

In this role, he was responsible for accounting, financial analysis, investments, financial statement preparation and the supervision of Apple Services LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary that provided back-office operations for smaller credit unions.

Andy’s tenure at Apple began in 1995 as a Strategic Planning Manager, where he initiated new products, budgeting, ALM and numerous other “firsts” for the organization.

Andy kicked-off his credit union career at Montgomery County Teachers Federal Credit Union, where he spent four years as a Call Center Manager and another four as Finance Manager. These roles provided invaluable experience in front-line and back-office operations. Andy began his career as an investment advisor prior to moving to the credit union industry.
