The Association of Military Bankers America (AMBA) Board of Directors has named Omuso D. George as the new President and CEO of AMBA. Omuso is a retired U.S. Army Brigadier General with extensive experience in military finance and public sector consulting. Omuso will lead AMBA’s strategic membership growth, manage legislative, military, and financial industry relationships, and cultivate continued military banking innovation and relevancy to best serve America’s service members, veterans, and their families.
A proven track record overseeing diverse teams within the US Army, as well as managing and fostering strong relationships with clients and private industry leaders alike, Omuso’s leadership will ensure that AMBA continues to thrive as it serves the financial needs of the military community.
