Farm Credit Bank of Texas has a new leader lined up.
The lender hired Brandon Blaut as its CEO, effective Jan. 1, based on a LinkedIn post by Chartwell Partners, which handled the search.
Blaut, who was the chief operating officer, will succeed the retiring Amie Pala.
“We were honored to partner with the board of directors of Farm Credit Bank of Texas on this important leadership transition,” Scott Petty at Chartwell Partners said in the post. “This search reflects the strength of the organization’s succession planning and its commitment to identifying a leader well-positioned to build on its success.”
