“We are pleased to promote Lance to this new role,” said Jeff Kuzbel, president and CEO of FHLBank Topeka. “Lance’s work as a former chief credit officer provided numerous opportunities to engage with our members. His strong commitment is essential to our collective success and ability to serve members and communities across our district through our member-owned cooperative.”

As chief business officer, Liby will lead many of the member-facing areas. He joined FHLBank Topeka in May 2013 as director of credit analytics and served as chief credit officer since 2017.

He has a bachelor‘s degree in business administration from Kansas State University and a master’s degree in business administration from the University of Missouri, Kansas City.

“As chief credit officer, I had the pleasure of getting to spend time collaborating with members on pledging collateral to FHLBank to help facilitate their liquidity and funding needs,” said Liby. “In this new role, I’m excited to spend more of my day thinking about how we might continue to improve our various products and services to ensure we are meeting the liquidity and funding needs of our members, so that they can continue to build stronger communities.”
