Veteran examiner JeanMarie Komyathy has been promoted to director of risk management in the NCUA's Office of Examination and Insurance.

Komyathy assumes her new duties on Sept. 3 and succeeds Tim Segerson, who earlier this year became deputy director of E&I, the agency said.

A 17-year NCUA staffer, Komyathy had been supervising a team of problem case officers as director of special actions in Region II.  In 2007 and 2008, she served a detail at the U.S. Department of Justice in the case against Carol Aranjo, former CEO at D. Edward Wells Federal Credit Union, the agency said.

“JeanMarie brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to her new job, complementing E&I's already strong management team,” said NCUA Board Chairman Debbie Matz.

Komyathy is a certified public account and certified fraud examiner and holds a bachelor's degree from Marist College and a master's degree from the College of St. Mary, the agency said.

Last month, Matz announced the Jan. 1, 2013, creation of a new Office of National Examinations and Supervision that will supervise all corporates as well as natural person credit unions with more than $10 billion in assets. There currently are four.
