Crusinberry, Senior Vice President, Controller, as the Company’s Interim Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer (CFO), effective September 30, 2022. She succeeds David A. Kinross, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, who will remain in a transitional finance role as the Company’s Strategic Growth Advisor effective September 30, 2022. The professional recruitment firm of Chrisman & Company has been contracted to commence an executive search for a permanent Chief Financial Officer.
Crusinberry joined CVCB in 2000 and has served as Senior Vice President, Controller since 2011. Having previously served for 10 years as CFO for an out-of-state community bank, she has over 40 years of financial accounting, auditing and compliance expertise.

Crusinberry currently oversees a team of six in the finance division and she is highly respected by her peers and financial partners. She will serve on the executive managing committee and support the annual strategic planning process.
