President & Chief Executive Officer
GTE Financial
Brian Best has led GTE Financial since 2016, transforming it into a nationally recognized credit union with over 500 employees and $210 million in annual revenue. Under his leadership, GTE has donated $2.5 million to local charities and was named one of America’s Greatest Midsized Workplaces by Newsweek.
“It’s not just a job. It’s a mission to do the right things for the right reasons,” Best says.
From launching innovative lending programs to weathering hurricanes and economic uncertainty, he credits his team and family, including wife Eryn, for fueling his commitment to build a financial institution that’s both resilient and compassionate.
