Leadership

Matt Vignale joined Blue in 2021 and serves as Chief Operations Officer, leading the strategy and execution behind the systems, teams, and processes that power the member experience.  

With more than two decades in the financial industry, Matt has built his career across both banks and credit unions, with a focus on improving how organizations serve people—connecting operational excellence with meaningful member experiences. Prior to Blue, he served as Vice President of Retail Delivery at Wings Financial Credit Union in Minnesota. 

Matt holds both an MBA and a bachelor’s degree in business management from John Carroll University. He is also a graduate of Western CUNA Management School and completed the CUES CEO Institute program in 2022. 

Based in Northern Colorado, Matt stays closely connected to what matters most—family, community, and the outdoors. He and his wife are raising five daughters, and much of his time outside of work is spent supporting their activities, staying active, and enjoying everything the region has to offer.

Neal Weber joined Blue Federal Credit Union in 2012 and serves as Chief Financial Officer, where he leads the organization’s financial strategy and oversees accounting, finance operations, data analytics, risk and compliance, and member solutions. His leadership brings together technical expertise and thoughtful stewardship, ensuring Blue remains strong, sustainable, and positioned to serve members for the long term. 

Over the course of his career at Blue, Neal has held roles across staff, management, and executive levels. That perspective shapes how he leads today, balancing sound financial decision-making with a deep understanding of the people and communities behind every number. 

Neal is committed to strengthening the communities Blue calls home. He serves as board treasurer for COMEA House Shelter in Cheyenne, supporting its mission to provide essential services to individuals experiencing homelessness. A graduate with high honors from Western Credit Union Management School, Neal continues to give back to the industry as a project reader, helping guide and develop future credit union leaders. 

A proud Wyoming native, Neal is a Certified Management Accountant with a Bachelor of Science in Finance from the University of Wyoming.

Bobby Matthis serves as Chief Digital Officer at Blue Federal Credit Union, where he leads Blue’s digital and technology strategy with a focus on innovation, simplification, and creating experiences that make life easier for members and employees alike. Since joining Blue in 2019, Bobby has played an important role in advancing the organization’s digital transformation, including the launch and ongoing evolution of Blue Digital. He leads teams across IT operations, cybersecurity, networking, digital solutions, digital experience, application development, artificial intelligence, self-service technologies, and project management. 

With more than 20 years in the credit union industry, Bobby began his career as a teller at Jeffco Credit Union before moving into a variety of technology roles. After Jeffco merged with Westerra Credit Union, he served in leadership positions spanning IT operations, software development, business intelligence, and process improvement. That broad experience continues to shape his approach today. 

Bobby believes technology should do more than function well. It should remove friction, create clarity, and help people move forward with confidence. His leadership is rooted in the credit union philosophy of people helping people and in a belief that meaningful digital experiences can strengthen relationships, not replace them. 

Known for building teams that value creativity, collaboration, and continuous improvement, Bobby encourages a culture where people feel comfortable exploring new ideas, learning through challenges, and working together to solve problems. He believes the best innovation happens when people feel supported, trusted, and inspired to think differently. 

Bobby holds an MBA with an emphasis in IT Management from Western Governors University and is currently pursuing a second master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence Engineering. He has also completed the CUES Certified Chief Executive program, including executive studies through Wharton, Cornell, and Darden, as well as the MITx Artificial Intelligence Strategy and Leadership program. 

Outside of work, Bobby enjoys spending time with his family, camping throughout the Rocky Mountains, visiting national parks, and exploring emerging technologies through personal coding and technology projects.
