IRVINE, California, July 26, 2017 – McDermott & Bull, one of the largest executive search firms within the Hunt Scanlon Top 50 Recruiters list, as well as one of Forbes’ Best Executive Recruiting Firms, is pleased to announce the successful appointment of Eric Wilson as Chief Information Officer with SAFE Credit Union, one of the largest credit unions in California.

This executive recruiting engagement was conducted by Brandon Biegenzahn, Co-Chair of the Financial Institutions Practice; Michelle Davis, Associate Principal Consultant; and Shree Thakarar, Senior Recruiting Associate at McDermott & Bull.  According to Biegenzahn, “Eric brings a track record of success as a technology leader from a high performing financial institution.  Moreover, he offers diversity of thought, as he previously led the IT function outside of the financial services sector.  His strategic skillset, coupled with his all-around likeability, make him the ideal candidate for SAFE Credit Union.”

Wilson last served as Chief Technology Officer at Rabobank N.A., managing a team that oversaw bank-wide Applications, Networking, Field Services, and Helpdesk Operations.  Prior to joining Rabobank, he was Chief Technology Officer at FusionStorm and Chief Information Officer at Raley’s Family of Fine Stores.

Wilson earned a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from the University of Guelph.
