Langley Federal Credit Union announced Monday that Gaurav Bhatia has been appointed President and CEO, succeeding Tom Ryan, who is retiring after more than a decade of leading the $5.6 billion Virginia-based institution.
“Mr. Gaurav Bhatia was selected from an outstanding pool of candidates for his visionary leadership, strategic acumen, and unwavering commitment to member-centric growth,” said Dr. Audrey Douglas-Cooke, Chair of Langley’s Board of Directors. “We are confident that under his leadership, Langley will continue to thrive, innovate, and serve our members with excellence.”
Bhatia brings over 20 years of executive experience in financial services, technology, and digital transformation. Most recently, he served as Chief Marketing, Digital, and Experience Officer and Head of Retail Deposits at PenFed Credit Union, where he led initiatives to strengthen member engagement and drive growth. His career also includes senior roles at AARP, Capital One, NewDay USA, Sabre Holdings (parent company of Travelocity.com), and NIIT Technologies.
“I am honored to join Langley at such an exciting time,” Bhatia said. “Langley has been recognized as a leader in the credit union industry for decades, and I look forward to building on the strong foundation Tom and the leadership team have built.”
Ryan, who has led Langley since 2012, expressed pride in the credit union’s growth and community impact. Bhatia and Ryan will work together through the end of 2025 to ensure a smooth transition.
