About Charmaine Detweiler

Detweiler has 30 years' experience in finance, with an emphasis on socially responsible banking. In 2006 she helped organize OneCalifornia Bank, a community development bank in Oakland, serving as its CFO and EVP. Before that she spent 17 years with Citigroup, in positions including CFO/division controller for Citibank, FSB.

She has played a critical role in putting New Resource on the path toward sustainability and profitability. Detweiler came to the bank just as the financial crisis was hitting. "Very quickly, the board and executive team came to the conclusion that what the bank needed to be about was refocusing on serving the community and businesses in the sustainable space," says Detweiler. She helped devise a strategy to attract the right talent, rethink the bank's resource allocation, and identify target markets. The bank's strategic focus on cleantech, organic products, nonprofits, and green building has paid off: 2012 marked the bank's first full year of profitability.
