The Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (FHLB Des Moines) has named Kristina K. Williams as its next president and chief executive officer, effective Jan. 2. She replaces Mike Wilson, who is retiring.
 
Williams has been chief operating officer at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh since 2011. She joined the Pittsburgh bank in 2004 as Chief Accounting Officer, and earlier was Chief Financial Officer of Wholesale Banking for PNC Financial Services Group.
 
“Joining the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines is an opportunity that I look forward to,” said Williams. “FHLB Des Moines has an extensive footprint, serving the most members across the largest geographical area of any Federal Home Loan Bank. I am excited to work with the board of directors, management and employees to not only ensure FHLB Des Moines is financially and operationally sound but adds value for members from Juneau, Alaska to the Bootheel of Missouri and many cities and communities in between.”
