Nanette Graviet began her career at Mountain America Credit Union 31 years ago as a part-time teller.

Her journey with the credit union that has more than 1 million members and $20 billion in assets is continuing, as Mountain America recently promoted Graviet to be its senior vice president and chief risk officer.

In her new role, the institution said Graviet will oversee governance, risk, compliance, and legal, as well as Mountain America’s risk management strategy. She will be responsible for overseeing the compliance management system and collaborating on all compliance risk-related tasks.

“Nanette’s extensive expertise and effective leadership make her the perfect candidate for this role,” Mountain America president and CEO Sterling Nielsen said in a news release. “Her vision and dedication to our organization will be crucial in advancing our risk management strategy, ensuring we maintain the highest standards of regulatory compliance and financial security for our members.”

Graviet steadily advanced through a variety of roles, leading teams in mortgage sales, member services, training, technology, public relations, quality control, and compliance.

In November 2022, Graviet joined the executive leadership team as the senior vice president of enterprise risk management. In this role, she developed, communicated, and executed Mountain America’s risk management strategy, overseeing the compliance management system, and collaborating on all risk-related components for new initiatives, products, and services.

“I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunities I’ve had to grow and learn throughout my career at Mountain America. I’ve been supported every step of the way by leaders who believed in me,” Graviet said. “What I love most about working here is the strong sense of purpose and the commitment we share to serve and protect our members. It’s an honor to continue that work in this new role.”
