Finance | Insurance 2023: TOM RYAN 

PRESIDENT AND CEO, LANGLEY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION, NEWPORT NEWS

Published August 30, 2023 by Virginia Business

Ryan’s business philosophy is simple: “Take great care of your team and they’ll take care of our [customers], and the business will take care of itself.”

Ryan joined Langley Federal in 2021 after more than 20 years with Massachusetts-based Digital Federal Credit Union, where he was executive vice president and chief operating officer.

With more than 740 employees in Virginia, the Newport News-based Langley Federal’s assets grew by 21% in 2022, to $5.04 billion for the year.

The Fitchburg State University graduate serves on the board of Virginia Peninsula Chamber of Commerce and is a board member of the Langley For Families Foundation, the credit union’s charitable arm.

PERSON I ADMIRE: My dad is a Korean War veteran [who] had a successful and diverse career, but what I most admire was how he continued to learn and grow — giving back in retirement, including mentoring families and high-risk kids.
