William Hunt

William Hunt is an Industry Analyst at Callahan & Associates. He runs the development of many of Callahan’s analytical projects and regular publications. Will also facilitates board briefings and consulting engagements through the provision of data-driven benchmarking and provides strategic insight into performance at both the industry and institution-specific level.

William joined Callahan in the fall of 2019 and has worked exclusively with credit union boards and executives over the past two years. Prior to joining Callahan, William worked in personal investing and wealth management in San Diego, California. Alongside this work, he earned FINRA series 7 and 63 licenses. William has also worked in retail banking and in restaurants, both of which left him with valuable experiences that help him understand and relate to credit union challenges at an empathetic level – beyond just the data.

An avid writer, William contributes regularly to Callahan’s publications and their creditunions.com website. He also shares articles and blogs with other online publications, usually focusing on macroeconomic trends – both within the credit union industry and throughout the United States as a whole. Will’s end goal is to utilize data to shine light on economic developments, and provide value to clients though the delivery and insightful analysis of these trends.

William grew up in Charlottesville, VA, and went to college a few steps from home at the University of Virginia. He now lives just outside of the capitol in Rosslyn, VA, with his wife and a new Golden Retriever puppy, Kona. In his free time, William enjoys hiking, watching Boston sports teams, and a good round of golf.
