Good Shepherd Food Bank has appointed Bryan O’Connor of Cumberland to be interim president of the organization effective July 1.

O’Connor is vice president of finance and administration.

As interim president, O’Connor will work in partnership with the board of directors and senior leadership to ensure organizational continuity as the nationwide search for a permanent president is underway. He will step into the role following the departure of longtime President Kristen Miale, who in February announced a planned departure from the organization on June 30, according to a news release from the Auburn-based nonprofit organization.

O’Connor, who joined the food bank in 2015, oversees the accounting, technology and risk management functions for the organization.

A certified management accountant, O’Connor has 20 years of experience in accounting and leadership roles.

Before joining the food bank, he was vice president of finance at United Way of Greater Portland in Maine.
